Welcome
Summer is officially here, bringing many opportunities to celebrate community and make the most of your service experience. This month, we honor Pride Month and Juneteenth. These occasions invite us to learn and connect with our community through local Pride parades, Juneteenth festivals, and other local events. Engaging in these events not only enriches your AmeriCorps service but also strengthens bonds within the communities you serve.
As part of your service requirements this month, we’re excited to highlight two valuable learning opportunities. The Monthly Learning Network will feature a presentation on social determinants of health and will deepen your understanding of non-medical factors that significantly influence a person's health and well-being. If you’re planning for life after AmeriCorps, Karlene Kuhn will be hosting a session on maximizing your Segal Education Award; this is a great chance to explore education, career pathways, and financial strategies. These sessions are designed to empower you with knowledge and resources for both your current service and future goals.
Remember, you have a dedicated support system throughout your service. Your VISTA Leads are here for you, whether you need help navigating challenges or simply want to discuss your service experience, please reach out.

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.
Professional Development
Slides and recordings for each item will be posted after the event. Please check back for the latest content.
