Campus Compact VISTA GMU - Community Engagement

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 : Housed within the Office of the Provost and Undergraduate Education, the mission of the Office of Community Engagement and Civic Learning (CECiL) is to connect Mason students, faculty, and staff with partner organizations in the community to collaborate on community identified projects and contribute to developing engaged citizens and well-rounded scholars who are prepared to act. This office creates, enhances, and coordinates partnerships for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge, resources and service. The proposed goals of this AmeriCorps VISTA project are to: (1) Build Mason's capacity to serve as an anchor institution in Northern Virginia; (2) Deepen knowledge of community partner relationships and better respond to community identified projects and needs that can alleviate poverty in the greater Northern Virginia region; (3) Systematically track community service and public service projects happening across campus via an online monitoring tool.
