Teams of VISTAs are individually placed at key public technology providers
(called "project site") in the community like youth centers,
libraries and job training centers to help improve their technology services
and coordinate with similar programs. Each VISTA is assigned to assess
technology opportunities, train volunteers to teach others in basic computer
and Internet skills, conduct public outreach to use the technology, and
organize related projects that are unique to the host organization. During
the project year, the outreach and sessions are conducted in both English
and Spanish.
