Corps
- Washington Reading Corps
- WRC is a statewide program that helps struggling preschool to elementary students improve their reading skills and succeed in school. WRC believes access to education and closing the achievement gap are key social justice issues with far ranging consequences directly related to our mission to end poverty and undo racism.
- MLK VISTA Leader Corps
- The Martin Luther King Jr. VISTA Corps is a diverse team dedicated to ending poverty in Seattle and King County. We partner with non-profit organizations, where MLK VISTA members work in the capacity of developing, implementing and managing new projects for their project sites. Many of our projects focus in the areas of housing and homelessness, employment, access to technology and family support.
- JustServe AmeriCorps
