About the Public & School Partnership

The Public & School Partnership (PSP) is an AmeriCorps-funded nonprofit organization based in Logan, Utah at the Utah State University Institute for Disability Research, Policy & Practice. PSP accomplishes its mission by building partnerships between schools, nonprofit organizations, local institutions, and community members.
​
PSP's full-time AmeriCorps VISTA members are placed in schools and nonprofit organizations across northern Utah, where they recruit and train volunteers, implement programs that benefit community members, raise funds, write grants, and organize service learning projects, among many other service activities. 

What is an AmeriCorps VISTA Member?

National Service members with AmeriCorps' Volunteers In Service To America (VISTA) program commit to a full year of service during which they serve full-time to help alleviate poverty in their community. To better understand the fight against poverty, they volunteer to live at 110% of the national poverty level. They give up luxuries - even the luxury of financial security - to become the best public servants they can be. Many of our VISTA members will use the skills and relationships they build with PSP as a launchpad into lives of service as nonprofit directors and staff, educators, counselors, social workers, and more. We are proud of the work our VISTA members do, and we are honored to support them in their service.
