AmeriCorps*VISTA is developing a systematic approach for assessing how well local organizations with full-time VISTA members are able to sustain projects over the long-term. Because VISTAs support a wide range of programs, it is a challenge to develop common outcome measures and a rigorous plan for a representative, nationwide evaluation that will provide measures of success. This assessment will evaluate the contributions of VISTA in strengthening local organizations’ capacity to build sustainable anti-poverty programs and develop a tool that can serve as a foundation for more rigorous studies in the future. The study will evaluate the extent to which closed projects have been able to achieve their goals. Based on what we learn about the closed projects, we will develop a tool to assess the likelihood that ongoing projects will be sustained beyond their third year of programming, after the VISTA members are no longer present.
