VISTA members will fight to alleviate poverty by coordinating hands‑on educational activities to promote food security for our community area. Realizing that food insecurity has multiple adverse health impacts, ranging from developmental problems for young people to difficulties concentrating in school, the Oseola McCarty Youth Development Center VISTA project will benefit the community by enhancing education skills and promoting healthy behaviors and economic opportunities for underserved students. The VISTA member will encourage and nurture the development of youth by providing building blocks and pathways such as gardening and creating informational flyers on healthy foods and tips that enable these families to be healthier members of our community. These activities will be sustainable once the VISTA resource is gone and will help bring families out of poverty.
Member Duties The Healthy Futures VISTA member will fight poverty by creating systems to educate low-income impoverished youth and their families, using a community garden as an educational tool and promoting healthy eating behaviors which will become an information gateway for these families so that they have the tools necessary to make strong financial decisions to bring them and their families out of poverty.
