Campus compact VISTA Michigan State U - Community Benefits

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 : Community Benefits (CB) are defined as “legal agreements” (or binding and non-binding contracts) to bring stakeholders such as labor organizations, racial justice groups, environmental entities, faith communities and more together to ensure the benefits of government dollars are optimized. In Michigan, many communities are unaware of this opportunity for local wealth building. Therefore, to serve Michigan “hotspot” communities, a VISTA member will research, draft, share for feedback, compile and assist to evaluate CB plans and agreements of action for both rural and urban spaces as part of a larger Michigan-oriented toolkit. They will also support the convening and facilitation of a community advisory board and help develop impact analyses. This will assist to determine if CB plans and agreements are effective ways to leverage investment to directly meet the community-identified stakeholder needs.
