Welcome
We would like to thank you for your attendance at the AmeriCorps VISTA Hub Winter Convening. We appreciated your thoughtful participation and reflections as we explored resilience and sustainable public health impact. We encourage you to explore the webinars and documentaries, and return to the Self-Care Action Plan you have written in your VISTA Hub Convening Workbook. We hope these materials help you to be proactive about your health and continue building healthier, more informed communities together.
In February, we recognize Black History Month, a time to honor the enduring contributions, resilience, and leadership of Black communities throughout our nation’s history. We also recognize National Self-Check Month, which serves as a reminder to be proactive in both our own mental and physical health. Self-checking helps to increase our chances of preventing chronic disease and other often avoidable conditions, while also supporting overall health maintenance. While we all do excellent work advocating for and building healthier communities, it’s important to carve out time to check in with ourselves, too.
As always, please feel free to reach out to your VISTA leads for any support or resources.
Yours in service,

Monthly Learning Networks (MLNs)
Monthly Learning Networks (MLNs) are professional development webinars designed for service members. These occur on the third Wednesday of the month at 11:30 am PST. Members are required to attend all MLNs. Please ensure your supervisors know you must attend these sessions as a required part of your service.
Coffee Breaks
Coffee Breaks are optional virtual meetings for AmeriCorps VISTA members to hang out, connect, and chat with others and the Leads.
VISTA Professional Development Series
The VISTA Professional Development Series is CHLI’s newest offering for AmeriCorps VISTA members. These hands-on, informal professional development sessions focus on small group conversations to help you navigate career and academic opportunities. Topics will include resume writing, interview skills, funding your education, and more. Members are required to attend three sessions during their year of service. Members may select which sessions to attend and are encouraged to attend any session that is relevant to their future goals.
Quarterly Check-ins
Members are scheduled for check-in calls with their Leads every three months. Your Leads will contact you during your scheduled month to arrange a time for a 30-minute call. These check-ins are a required part of your service.
VISTA Hub Winter Convening - Required
The next bi-annual convening has been scheduled for Thursday, January 22, 2026 from 9:30AM to 4:00PM PT. The VISTA Hub Convening is a full-day, virtual event that is similar to a mini conference. This event is just for AmeriCorps members sponsored by CHLI. The convening offers an opportunity for members to learn and connect with one another. As a reminder, attendance is a required component of your AmeriCorps VISTA service. Be sure to check your emails for Zoom links and calendar invites.
