Campus Compact VISTA Agnes Scott College

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 : In February 2021, Agnes Scott College and the City of Decatur, Georgia completed a joint Climate Resilience Plan (CRP).

The Outreach & Service-Learning in Climate Resilience Campus Compact AmeriCorps VISTA Member (CRP VISTA Member) will work to foster a culture of service-learning through the lens of sustainability, climate action and justice on campus and in the broader community. The CRP VISTA Member will organize and promote initiatives that support the CRP with the City of Decatur and community partners. The CRP VISTA Member will be the primary information source for contacts on and off campus about the CRP’s efforts to increase support for Decatur residents through the MLK Service Project and engage Agnes Scott students in service-learning opportunities.
