Welcome
This month, we come together to shine a spotlight on both Suicide Prevention Month and National Recovery Month. These observances remind us of the importance of mental health, resilience, and community support in fostering healthier, more compassionate spaces for all. September is a time to reflect on the impact of your work and the importance of caring for your own well-being. Whether through connecting with others, practicing self-care, or engaging in learning opportunities, every step you take contributes to a culture of hope and healing.
As VISTA members, your dedication to building stronger, more equitable communities is truly inspiring. Remember, you are not alone on this journey—your support system, including your VISTA Leads and peers, is here to help you navigate challenges and celebrate successes. Please take into consideration that there will be no PDTs or MLNs this month; though we are excited for you to join us for our monthly coffee break, or other programming, to stay connected and get support.
Thank you for your unwavering commitment to service and for prioritizing your mental health as you continue to make a difference in the communities you serve. Together, we can foster resilience and hope—one step at a time.
As always, please reach out to your Leads for support.

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.
