Launched in 2002, the OSMRE/VISTA program is a partnership among the Office of Surface Mining, Reclamation & Enforcement (OSMRE), AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America), and local non-profits in Appalachia and the Inter-mountain West. These VISTA projects promote economic redevelopment, community engagement and environmental stewardship. Through this partnership, it is the mission of Stewards AmeriCorps VISTAs to assist rural communities impoverished by environmental degradation and its consequences in making their home-place-watersheds healthier places to live and work.
