Campus Compact VISTA University of Pittsburgh

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 mission of PittServes is to catalyze students and communities to engage in action that creates impactful change. The Pitt Community Tutor Collective is an initiative that creates reciprocal partnerships with student learners and community members to equitably prepare k-12 students and student mentors/tutors. Through tutoring and mentoring approaches founded in social justice, child readiness, cultural competency, and asset-based community development, our tutors are regularly trained and ready to meet their mentees where they are in their educational and emotional path. Entering into the second year of the Community Tutor Collective project, the VISTA will help to expand the education programs to directly impact four schools and possibly more in the future. The VISTA will expand the ability to deliver services to local youth through the America Reads Challenge, Creative Empowerment for Youth, and PittEnrich.
