If you're like most people, you've probably heard the term VISTA but never really been quite sure what it's about.

Quite simply, VISTA are game-changers. They roll up their sleeves and do the hard work that needs to be done to help West Virginia's communities.

They are leaders and they are workers. They are big ideas people. They build things that last.

But don't take my word for it. In this special edition of The Hubbub, we'll meet the new crop of VISTA working in West Virginia this year, answer all your VISTA FAQs, and point you in the direction of some VISTA vacancies now open.

Are you a game-changer?
