In 2005, SPARC embarked upon a program of expansion. In 2005, SPARC became an official sponsor of an AmeriCorps* VISTA project, providing it with the full time volunteer services of five (5) diverse and talented individuals. The addition of VISTA volunteers allowed SPARC to expand its community programs, faith based initiatives, marketing, resource development and technical operations. It also provided SPARC with the opportunity to stabilize and expand its infrastructure to provide the necessary stability to its increased program offerings. As SPARC moves into its third year of project sponsorship, program offerings will continue to increase. Stay tuned for exciting information on new projects initiated by VISTA volunteers!!!

| How AmeriCorps*VISTA Works |
| |
AmeriCorps*VISTA members leverage human, financial, and material resources to increase the capacity of low-income communities across the country to solve their own problems.
When VISTA members complete their service, they leave behind lasting solutions to some of our country's toughest problems.
Since 1965, more than 140,000 Americans served through VISTA. Today, nearly 6,000 AmeriCorps*VISTA members serve throughout the country—working to fight illiteracy, improve health services, create businesses, increase housing opportunities, bridge the digital divide, and strengthen the capacity of community organizations |
