The Project’s mission is to help build and sustain the efforts of Yavapai County service providers and community members to continually improve the quality of life across the region. YCVP, supported by the Corporation for National and Community Service, provides full-time VISTA members to nonprofit, faith-based and other community organizations and public agencies to create and expand programs that ultimately bring low-income individuals and communities out of poverty. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ AmeriCorps VISTA Recruiting New Sites in Yavapai CountyAmeriCorps VISTA can help you tackle those dream projects that you never have time to turn into reality.
