VISTA
Throughout the country college students
are beginning to answer the call to service
at home in the nationwide war against
poverty. About one-third of the applications arriving at VISTA—Volunteers In
Service To America—are from recent col^ g e graduates, reports Glenn Ferguson,
Irector of the anti-poverty program
often described as the domestic Peace
Gorps.
In addition to the number of college
graduates applying, about 30 percent of the
prospective Volunteers have had some
college education. Some of these are students who want a year of practical experience before they complete college education. Others indicate that a year- of living
and working in poverty areas will help
them learn about possible future careers
in teaching, medicine, social work or related fields.
The response of college students indicates that many have the desire to contribute personally to help bring about equal
opportunity for the disadvantaged. Those
who apply are willing to give a year of
their talents and energies to help tire impoverished help themselves. For motivated and committed college students
VISTA offer's an avenue of action, an opportunity to do something meaningful for
less-fortunate fellow Americans.
More than 7000 Americans have already
applied to be VISTA Volunteers and the
flow of applications, about equally divided
from men and women, increases daily.
^•Any person over 18 is eligible to become
VISTA Volunteer.
Mar r ied couples are eligible for VISTA
if both husband and wife apply together
and have no dependents under 18. A survey of current applications show Hurl
about 159! are from married couples
while about 85' '< of the prospective Volunteers are single.
VISTA expects to place 50(10 Volunteers
in poverty areas throughout the I'nited
States and its Territories during 1965.
More than 3000 Volunteers have already
been requested by local groups and communities to assist in anti-poverty projects.
Specific requests have been received for
Volunteers to work as family counsellors,
tutor's, child-day-care aides, pre-school
teachers, guidance and vocational counsellors, home economists.
Volunteer's are also needed to work with
non-English speaking Americans, youth
groups, the elderly, physically or- mentally
handicapped persons, and in community
development projects.
V I S T A Volunteers will serve for a year
in rural areas, urban sunns, Indian reservations, migrant workers communities,
hospitals, schools, and institutions for the
mentally ill or mentally retarded. They
r e c e i v e a monthly living a Iowance coverg food, clothing, housing, transportation
and medical care. Upon completion of
service, they also receive a stipend of $50
for each month of satisfactory service in-
eluding the training period.
Volunteers are currently training in
North Carolina and Florida and the first
contingent will report to assigned projects
about mid-February. They will move to
their assignment upon completion of a
four to six week training period which
includes supervised field experience in
poverty environments.
Training, conducted by local, private
and
public
organizations, including
selected colleges and universities, involves
field work, discussion of the nature and
causes of poverty in the United States
area and language study, health education,
and the development of recreational skills.
Training is or iented towards the needs of
May, 1965
the job and the location to which the
Volunteer will be assigned.
Among current applicants, ages of prospective volunteers vary from 18 to over 60.
A statistical breakdown shows that among
men applying, 23% are between the ages
of 18 and 20 while, in the same age range,
37% are women. However, more men
(45%) than women (27%) between the
ages of 21 and 46 arc volunteering. Nearly one-fifth of the prospective Volunteers
are over (it).
Students who w i l l be available for service at the end of the school year may
apply now. Applications or further information may be obtained by writing
