The Center for Community Support and Research (CCSR) was recently selected by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) to serve Kansas as an AmeriCorps VISTA Intermediary Sponsor. AmeriCorps VISTA is a national and community service program administered by the CNCS placing volunteers in poverty-fighting organizations across the United States. Through this award, CCSR will create WSU VISTA Fellows, connecting them with nonprofits, government and public health serving agencies statewide. This project is an innovative way to connect WSU with community organizations that address poverty. Go to http://www.wichita.edu/j/?3264 for more information.
