United Way VISTA Volunteers
Helping Working Families Make Ends Meet
Abstract
For nearly a century, United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey has worked to alleviate poverty in the local community. Through their model of leveraging both nonprofit and for-profit resources, United Way is able to unite the power of multiple stakeholders to address the root causes of poverty and create lasting change. Integral to United Way's model is the mobilization of AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers, whose manpower compensates for the limited staffing faced by many local nonprofits.
