Our VISTA Quarterly Reports Are In! See the Summary

Our NC Campus Compact VISTA members submit reports on their service activities every quarter. The August - October quarter recently concluded, so we've compiled a report summary that shares service data totals and highlights. And, we've created this snazzy new "infographic" to illustrate the scope of our VISTAs' efforts!

Below are just a few examples of VISTA projects that contribute to these grand totals. All our VISTA members focus on one of the CNCS priorities: economic opportunity, education, and food security.
