Along with this important work, VISTA members also gain valuable experience and access to professional development opportunities, become part of a cohort of like-minded, supportive individuals, and will receive either an educational award or a cash stipend upon completion of their service.
In 2022, our program is expanding from 41 VISTAs at 22 organizations to 45 VISTA members at 26 different organizations and 20 Summer VISTAs serving across Northern Minnesota and Northern Wisconsin. While the Eco3 VISTA program developed with a focus on the Duluth community, this expansion will now allow Ecolibrium3 to extend capacity-building services to address the unique challenges facing rural communities.
