Trevecca Student Development VISTA
Trevecca Nazarene University's VISTA goal is to mobilize higher education and community resources to help alleviate poverty by addressing hunger and educational needs in in one of Nashville's poorest neighborhoods, the 37210-zip code and, in the process, further develop and strengthen a growing network of campus and community partnerships. Trevecca is committed to strengthening this neighborhood and minimizing the suffering caused by extreme poverty. Members may anticipate inspiring and capturing the synergy in the campus and community by linking the University, students, residents, and local businesses to reduce poverty. Student Develop VISTA will work to recruit and track university volunteers for service learning as a way to promote community health and human flourishing.
