Martin Luther King VISTAs are placed as full-time volunteers at nonprofit agencies in the Seattle/King County area. Members serve for one year as part of the national VISTA (Volunteers in Service
to America) movement,
often referred to as a "domestic Peace Corps."
Typically VISTAs serve at agencies to develop, implement and/or manage new projects. The MLK VISTA Corps has an anti-poverty focus, and we work primarily in four areas:

• housing & homelessness
• technology access for low-income populations
• family support (including domestic violence prevention)
• employment & training

• “Role of a VISTA” info sheet
• Ideas for living cheaply in the Seattle area
• Metro Trip Planner: Need to get somewhere by bus? Type in your origin and destination addresses, and your bus directions will magically appear!
• City of Seattle: Great information on events and resources in this awesome city where you're doing your year of service!
• The Black Collegian: A career site and resource for people of color.
• Idealist.org: A great resource full of social change and nonprofit job postings all over the country!
