Who? What? How?

This resource was created by the Northwest Regional Educational Lab (NWREL)/Bank Street College (BSC) training team. NWREL/BSC has been a Training and Technical Assistance provider for AmeriCorps*VISTA since 1998. They design and deliver the Pre-Service Orientation (PSO) and the Supervisor Orientation (SO), as well as other events.

NWREL/BSC uses this handout in the Supervisor Orientation. It helps new VISTA supervisors deepen their members' understanding of the cultural groups in their community.

Use this resource to:

• Identify the who, the what and how of your community.
• Help coach your members' community entry process
• Brainstorm community groups to introduce your members to
