Minnesota AmeriCorps VISTA, Senior Corps volunteers brace for changes as state office closes

In St. Cloud, seniors meet with kids at school to practice reading and help with homework. In Duluth, volunteers help make sure the region is ready for the next natural disaster. And in the metro area, a coordinator works with other volunteers who support people seeking jobs and housing.

They are all working through AmeriCorps VISTA and Senior Corps — two programs that face an uncertain future under the Trump administration.
