VISTA Members End Year of Service

Ecolibrium3 AmeriCorps VISTA members dedicate a year of service to help eradicate poverty by building the capacity of the organizations they serve. Two amazing VISTAs are wrapping up their service this month: Jared and Sophie. We are so grateful to them for their commitment to service!

Flamingo Fest 2024: Lincoln Park Goes Pink!

Flamingo Fest is the annual Fully Fabulous Neighborhood Glam Challenge, featuring music, prizes, and decorations throughout the district. This fun summertime promotion brings birds of a feather to flock together in our neck of the woods.

Passion Guides VISTA Projects

Eco3 VISTAs are placed at positions that best suit their skills and experience. During their service, many VISTA members also take time to work on a passion project of their choice. This month, three of our current VISTAs took time to share their passion projects with us.

Family Fun at the Farm

Things have been busy at the Eco3 Urban Farm! On Saturday June 1, we had special visitors at the Farm; a small herd of goats and some adorable baby chicks. See what’s growing at the Farm and plan your visit!
