The Southern Appalachian Labor School's mission is to provide education, research, and linkages for working class and disenfranchised people in order to promote understanding, empowerment, and change. The VISTAs will focus on expanded efforts to serve the at-risk population, by organizing and arranging support groups, counseling and referral resources: researching and developing information and social-media materials that would be age appropriate for young adults and children.
