Their skills vary from the law to plumbing to literature. Many work eighteen hours a day, seven days a week, for a monthly stipend of $50. Their homes for one year or more are the slums of Boston, an Apache reservation, the hollows of Appalachia--wherever the poor reside. All have one thing in common: they are VISTA Volunteers.
