PA Campus Compact - PACC
 
 
 
Aligned with our mission of strengthening communities through campus-community partnerships and promoting education for informed civic engagement, Pennsylvania Campus Compact (PACC) will support 27 AmeriCorps*VISTAs in the 2015-2016 program year. Placed at institutions of higher education across the state, PACC AmeriCorps*VISTAs support high-impact, innovative and sustainable projects that meet compelling community needs and seek to eradicate poverty in both urban and rural Pennsylvanian communities. Projects will fall within one of three focus areas: Education, Healthy Futures, and Veterans and Military Families. Working collaboratively with PACC staff, the PACC*VISTA Leader will be key to the PACC AmeriCorps*VISTA success and will create explicit tools and provide implicit support to ensure that AmeriCorps*VISTAs both create long-term capacity for communities and have a meaningful service and member experience. More tangibly, the PACC*VISTA Leader will coordinate tools for member development and project assessment, build capacity for future VISTAs by coordinating VISTA Alumni, and a support existing regional networks in exploring opportunities and capacity for collaborative VISTA projects.
