What is it like to be a VISTA with Impact Pendleton?

Check out this video of Annalise's summer with us as a Summer AmeriCorps VISTA member. Annalise was responsible for planning fun, educational group events for mentors and mentees in the Impact Mentoring Program.

Serving as a VISTA with Impact Pendleton has blessed me in so many ways I didn't expect.  I grew closer with the Pendleton community through serving the local schools and churches. This community has embraced me with open arms and made me feel right at home even though I am not originally from here.

VISTA helped me gain leadership skills, a passion for mentoring, and lasting relationships with various community members. I highly recommend becoming an AmeriCorps VISTA with Impact Pendleton!"
