What are the responsibilities and job description for the Campus Compact VISTA UMass Dartmouth - FGLI Support 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. For detailed program information and FAQs, please visit our website.
Member Duties : The project focuses on creating a comprehensive mentoring program at UMass Dartmouth to support low-income and first-generation college students. Through the Campus Compact AmeriCorps VISTA initiative, the project aims to address barriers to academic and professional success by pairing students with mentors from among peers, faculty, staff, alumni, and community leaders. The VISTA Member will build program infrastructure, including standardized mentor training, support systems like the CARE Network, and tracking mechanisms to monitor participation and outcomes. Over three-years, the initiative will scale its impact, strengthen institutional support, and ensure long-term sustainability, with the ultimate goal of improving degree attainment and economic mobility for underserved students.
