Welcome
Hello November! The season of gratitude is here, and we’re taking a moment to appreciate all of you. From big wins to everyday moments of service, your work continues to make a difference. Grab something warm, settle into the season, and let’s make November one to remember! As the year winds down, we have a chance to pause and reflect on the connections and partnerships that have supported your journey.
This month, we're focusing on coalition building and effective partnerships, exploring how strong relationships can create lasting change. Below, you'll find upcoming events designed to help strengthen your partnership-building skills, along with practical tools and resources you can use throughout your career. We've also highlighted a fellow VISTA Volunteer whose story demonstrates the power of collaboration and the impact of working toward shared goals. As you continue building connections and making a difference in your communities, remember that your VISTA Leaders are just a message away, ready to connect, brainstorm, or lend a hand whenever you need us.
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 Fall Convening - Required
The next bi-annual convening has been scheduled for Thursday, September 30, 2026 from 9:30AM to 12:30PM PT. The VISTA Hub Convening is a half-day, virtual event that is similar to a mini conference. This event is just for AmeriCorps VISTA Volunteers sponsored by CHLI. The convening offers an opportunity for volunteers 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.
