Campus Compact VISTA - Wagner 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 : The VISTA project will support building out the existing Bonner Leaders Program which supports low-income students in pursuing paid engagement work at community organizations. The VISTA will work with the Bonner Coordinator to recruit eligible students to the Program through developing marketing and recruitment materials. The VISTA will also develop outreach materials to advise local community organizations of the possibility of having Bonners Leaders be part of their organization. The VISTA will work on strengthening existing relationships with community partners. The VISTA will develop tools that assess placements regarding fit for Bonner Leaders, organizations, and Wagner College. Finally, the VISTA will support the development of an on-campus food pantry that will serve low-income students. This will involve the development of a needs assessment, a plan for staffing, and sourcing the pantry while creating a beneficiary tracking system.
