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!"

  • You will help improve the Impact Mentoring Program by planning and coordinating monthly activities for mentoring matches.
  • You will create plans for activities, develop program activities such as classroom curriculum, games, reflection activities, and service projects, develop materials like flyers and social media posts to promote and publicize events, and provide capacity-building services by finding community partners to lead, host, or donate toward events.
  • This VISTA will also evaluate the process and systems used by Impact Mentoring in making mentor recruitment videos. You will recruit stakeholders and community partners to be a part of the video process, create a script for the video, and film, edit and create a mentor recruitment video. The video will be used for future events and collaborations to recruit more volunteers to be mentors.
