Campus Compact VISTA - Emerson 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 : Emerson College's Elma Lewis Center youth programs engage Boston-area youth (13-19) to explore solution-oriented practices for community needs. The VISTA member will co-vision the creation and pilot application of impact assessment tools to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the outcomes of out-of-school youth programming in story work arts for participants aged 13-19 years old from Boston-area middle and high schools. This VISTA member will collaborate on this with ELC staff, youth program participants, and community artists/educators. Nearly all ELC youth are navigating poverty. Specifically, we seek to assess the impact of ELC youth programming on educational access and performance, and social and emotional tools to navigate their lives in intergenerational and youth communities.
