The UMASS Dartmouth VISTA will be housed in the Leduc Center for Civic Engagement, which helps students engage in service activities at local community-based organizations and schools through volunteering, tutoring/mentoring, or service-learning projects. The goal of the UMASS Dartmouth VISTA project is to continue building the capacity of UMass Dartmouth’s Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS) project, a program focused on providing additional educational, social and emotional support needed to increase education outcomes within the low-income communities of Fall River and New Bedford. The VISTA member will increase VIPS capacity by developing a sustainable structure of volunteer recruitment and management to meet the needs of in-school and after school tutoring programs. The biweekly living allowance for this position is $613.48 in Bristol County, MA. In addition to the benefits listed, the host site will provide a fitness center pass. The AmeriCorps VISTA serving at UMASS Dartmouth will be part of a dynamic, motivated corps. Serving as a part of the Campus Compact VISTA corps provides VISTAs the chance to connect with corps members throughout multiple states, to create a network of support, and to share resources. Campus Compact supports the professional and personal growth of VISTA members through a variety of professional development opportunities and in-person trainings throughout their service year.
