ABOUT AMERICORPS VISTA HUB

Building capacity for public health policy, programs, and practice

The AmeriCorpsVISTA Hub, managed by PHI Center for Health Leadership & Impact (CHLI), places AmeriCorps VISTA members across California to address overdose prevention and build healthy communites. Our experience and success managing programs with a large geographical reach and diverse population has allowed us create a template for regional success.*

“I am very thankful for the opportunity to work with government officials and develop and organize and implement an Opioid Awareness Summit, as well as speak publicly and change Naloxone policies for over 125 high school and middle school campuses in my region.”
