*Goodwill NNE AmeriCorps VISTA*

Since 2015, the Goodwill NNE VISTA Partnership has sought to alleviate poverty in communities across Maine and New Hampshire from the most rural areas to the most populous cities. VISTA Members support capacity-building and organizational-development goals of local agencies, including schools and nonprofits, providing invaluable boosts to the wellbeing of communities through indirect service such as creating new programs, assisting with community assessments, fundraising and grant writing, communications work, increasing social media presence, and recruiting and managing volunteers among other projects. The organizations we partner with focus on important community issues including but not limited to affordable housing, support for seniors, food security, assisting New Americans, educational support, and accessible transportation.
