VEP VISTA Training

On June 15, all of the Volunteer Empowerment Project VISTAs gathered from across the state for a VISTA training. Topics included: life after VISTA: resumes and interviewing, strengthening supervisor relationships, evaluation and goal setting, VISTA Barriers, and Influencer training. It was a great day of learning, connecting, and socializing. Here are some photos from the event:
