Campus Compact VISTA Goodwin University

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 will help to develop and launch a Peer Mentorship Program at Goodwin University that matches first-year students (mentees) with second-year students (mentors). The objective of the program is to serve low-income students by facilitating a successful transition into college; improving their awareness of available student resources; encouraging persistence and degree completion; and fostering a sense of community and belonging on our campus. The VISTA member will contribute to the project by performing activities such as: program research and development; recruitment and student outreach; evaluating program effectiveness and impact; and ensuring proof of concept and documentation of a prototype to successfully replicate and deploy other types of mentoring models in subsequent years.
