A 4-day agenda for VISTA members

This agenda outlines the topics and activities covered during the Pre-Service Orientation (PSO)provided to all VISTA members. VISTAs spend the first two days in small groups getting oriented to their role and VISTA. On the last day of the event, participants choose one of three focused skill-building sessions that best fits with their VISTA service activities.
