Welcome
World Health Day is observed on April 7. The theme for 2026 is "Together for Science," which encourages individuals everywhere to participate by celebrating scientific achievements and providing awareness, education, and resources on urgent public health issues to individuals worldwide. This also coincides with National Public Health Week (April 6-12) with the theme being, "Ready. Set. Action!" which is a week of highlighting the ways public health improves our daily lives, expands our lifespan, and strengthens communities. Observing these themes offers the opportunity to honor public health workers who show up every day and advocate for policies and practices to promote overall well-being.
We recognize the impact you all have on the public health field as AmeriCorps VISTA members. The contributions you make during your service in advancing public health initiatives and raising awareness in your communities is appreciated.
We encourage you to engage in the resources below and to take care of yourself in the process as self-care is essential to public health.
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.
