Campus Compact VISTA Southern NH University - Breakthrough

The Campus Compact AmeriCorps VISTA program places AmeriCorps VISTA members in full service with our campus and community partners for a one-year period. During this year, members spend 35 hours per week on their host site’s campus or with one of that campus’s community partners to work on building systems and programs that support low-income college students and community members. The VISTA member’s work is to build capacity, meaning that rather than directly serving the community, they’re enhancing or creating systems, structures, and resources that support the direct anti-poverty work. Campus Compact functions as the central VISTA program hub, performing program administration, offering training and support to VISTA members and their projects, and connecting the work happening in individual projects both to similar work happening nationwide and back to AmeriCorps. For detailed program information and FAQs, please visit our website.

Member Duties : The Breakthrough Manchester AmeriCorps VISTA member at Southern New Hampshire University will increase college access programming effectiveness, capacity, and reach by analyzing and evaluating current programming, adapting programming for new modalities (such as week-long camps or one-off workshops), assessing student strengths and needs, and and developing training, process, and support materials for the Breakthrough Manchester College-Bound. Breakthrough Manchester College-Bound was established in 2016 with a dual mission of serving underrepresented, highly-motivated high school students on their path to post-secondary success and current, dedicated undergraduate students on their path to leadership in educational equity. Since 2016, we have seen 100% of our high school students graduate and move on to post-secondary education. We have also seen several of our dedicated advisors (college students) go into teaching full-time or other education-sector roles.
