Campus Compact VISTA – Northern Michigan University
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.

The Ameri Corps VISTA serving with Northern Michigan University (NMU) will help the university to launch and build program capacity for the Park‑to‑Pantry initiative on campus. Woodland Park is an 11‑acre sustainable demonstration area on campus that includes two hoop houses (1600 sq ft each) for three‑season food production and community garden plots. The VISTA will help design the systems to support volunteers and educational outreach necessary to grow food and feed students on campus, thus combatting food insecurity.
As a member of the NMU Sustainability Hub for Innovation & Environment team, there will be weekly meetings and a variety of opportunities for training and professional development experiences throughout the year of service.
