VISTA Goal

Trevecca Nazarene University’s VISTA goal is to mobilize higher education and community resources to help alleviate poverty by addressing hunger and educational needs in one of Nashville’s poorest neighborhoods, the 37210-zip code, and in the process, further develop and strengthen a growing network of campus and community partnerships.
