Overview
Campus Compact VISTA – Kennesaw State University Jobs in Boston, Massachusetts, USA at AmeriCorps
The Campus Compact Ameri Corps VISTA program places Ameri Corps 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 Ameri Corps.
Member Duties: The goal of the project is to improve higher education opportunities and access for veterans, service members, and their families, who rely on limited GI benefits to pursue undergraduate degrees. The VISTA will assist the Military and Veteran Services office in ensuring services across two campuses meet the needs of military-affiliated students so that they are able to succeed and graduate.
By conducting research on program utilization and effectiveness, the VISTA will help our office better understand gaps in services. By developing and maintaining partnerships that connect military-affiliated students with economic, social, and health-related supports, the VISTA will help to ensure the persistence of military-affiliated students. Finally, the VISTA will support the research and development of new programming to facilitate connection and community amongst military-affiliated students as a means to enhance graduation rates.
