Communities Thriving VISTA - IN
 
 
 
Does the thought of serving at a college or university excite you? Are you motivated to make a difference in our communities to help them thrive? Do you have a passion for service? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, you may be the perfect fit for the Communities Thriving VISTA program! The Communities Thriving VISTA project was created as a partnership known as IKONC (Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and North Carolina, pronounced "iconic"). IKONC is a consortium of state civic engagement organizations based in higher education with the goals of educating students for active citizenship and partnering with communities for positive change. The four organizations are Community-Engaged Alliance (IN), EngageKY, Community Campus Coalition (OH), and North Carolina Campus Engagement. The Communities Thriving VISTA project seeks to place VISTA members with nonprofit organizations or higher education institutions in order to address poverty-related issues and create positive community outcomes. Communities Thriving VISTA members will serve with a local agency and work with community groups to benefit low income individuals and families. Communities Thriving VISTA Host Sites with Openings in Indiana: Butler University, DePauw University, Wabash College, Ball State University, and Hanover College

Member Duties : Eighteen Communities Thriving VISTA members will serve at higher education institutions and nonprofit organizations to address poverty through sustainable, capacity-building strategies. While responsibilities vary by host site and community need, all positions focus on strengthening systems that expand access to education, workforce development, food security, and economic mobility. VISTA members will develop and implement initiatives such as healthy food access programs, job training and financial literacy resources, sustainability plans, and mentorship opportunities for first-generation college students. Through community organizing and cross-sector collaboration, members will help host sites increase their impact, serve more individuals, and create long-term pathways out of poverty.
