Campus Compact VISTA - University of Virginia

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 strengthen and expand university–community partnerships addressing health access, legal aid, and economic stability in Charlottesville. Madison House, UVA’s student-led volunteer center, connects 2,000 student volunteers a year with local nonprofits, schools, and public service organizations. In recent years, Madison House has experienced significant unmet demand from both students seeking meaningful service opportunities and community partners seeking volunteer support. Many UVA students pursuing careers in health care, law, and business are eager to gain hands-on experience, and the VISTA will help expand Madison House’s ability to meet this demand by developing systems that support partnership development, volunteer coordination, and program infrastructure. Year one will focus on community assessment, gathering feedback from student leaders, partnership development, volunteer role design, and creating data systems to support long-term program evaluation.
