The Greenville County Behavioral Health AmeriCorps VISTA Program

About the GCBH VISTA Program 

The Greenville County Behavioral Health (GCBH) AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) Program is designed to alleviate poverty and increase access to behavioral health services for Greenville County residents in measurable and sustainable ways.  

The program focuses on mental health services and substance use disorder (with an emphasis on opioid use disorder). VISTA Members serve full-time for one year at non-profit organizations or local government agencies to build their capacity and carry out programs that alleviate poverty.

Each GCBH VISTA works approximately 40 hours a week in their respective role. In the fourth year of the program beginning on August 3, 2020, the GCBH VISTA cohort will include 26 VISTA and two VISTA Leader positions.
