Campus Compact VISTA Stanford - Branching Out
 
 
 
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 : Canopy’s mission is to grow a vibrant, urban tree canopy in Midpeninsula communities for the benefit of all. Canopy focuses much of its work on low-income communities without a thriving urban forest due to limited resources, competing priorities, and historical redlining practices. Canopy’s Branching Out program is dedicated to expanding the urban forest within nearby communities through advocacy, education, and tree planting. We aim to listen and understand residents’ priorities, concerns, and barriers to planting trees, addressing the community’s specific needs and desires. With support from Canopy staff, the VISTA will help coordinate educational workshops to connect with our communities and facilitate community listening sessions in each of our three Branching Out communities. These listening sessions will provide important feedback from local residents to help strengthen our programs and identify ways we can work together to continue the growth of our local urban forests.
