What are the responsibilities and job description for the Campus Compact VISTA Northwestern University position at AmeriCorps?
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.

Member Duties : Student Enrichment Services (SES) is Northwestern University’s (NU) office supporting undergraduate first-generation and/or lower-income students. Now, in year 3 of SES’ newest cohort program, Summer Academic Workshop (SAW), the VISTA will build on previous VISTAs work with SAW survey and assessments to support the Director of the Summer Academic Workshop to improve and edit on existing SAW curriculum and evaluation that connect low-income students with the people and resources needed to increase their knowledge about transition and belongingness at Northwestern University. Additionally, the VISTA will support Student Enrichment Services with our greater goal of connecting all lower-income students with the financial and navigational resources to make the most of their Northwestern experience.
