AmeriCorps VISTA Program
Immunize Colorado's AmeriCorps VISTA program, the "Colorado Immunity Corps", has been active since 2020; with members building capacity at local public health departments and federally-qualified health centers; promoting immunization knowledge and improving access to immunizations and related healthcare services in Colorado communities.
AmeriCorps, the federal agency for national service and volunteerism, provides opportunities for Americans to serve their country domestically, address the nation's most pressing challenges, improve lives and communities, and strengthen civic engagement. Each year, the agency places more than 200,000 AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers in intensive service roles; and empowers millions more to serve as long-term, short-term, or one-time volunteers.
