In 1964, inspired by John Kennedy’s creation of the Peace Corps, Lyndon Johnson created the Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) program to involve people in national service dedicated to anti-poverty efforts. Since then, more than 180,000 VISTAs have served throughout America to build capacity in non-profit organizations and public agencies.
