Not only has it provided myself an opportunity to be a part of creating a powerful resource for Leaders to use in the future, but it has also given me resources and ideas to utilize with my VISTA members."

"The privilege of participating in the ALC only enhanced my year as a VISTA Leader: I was able to work with other passionate VLs and a knowledgeable facilitator on a resource to support future VLs. It was great to put our combined skills and history with the VISTA program to work and feel like we gave back to the program that enabled us experiences beyond alleviating poverty."
