Campus Compact VISTA University of Wisconsin Green Bay

Campus Compact VISTA University of Wisconsin Green Bay

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 UW–Green Bay Center for Civic Engagement Ameri Corps VISTA project focuses on strengthening the capacity and long-term sustainability of the Community and Civic Engagement Certificate program, which supports students in developing the knowledge, skills, and experiences needed for civic leadership, and supporting the retention and graduation of low-income students through expanded access to high‑impact, community‑engaged learning experiences that build belonging, social capital, and academic persistence.

The VISTA member will support the growth and sustainability of this program by conducting program evaluation, strengthening partnerships, and developing systems and resources that support student participation and program success. This work will include researching best practices, developing tools for tracking student engagement and program outcomes, facilitating collaboration with faculty and community partners, and helping expand awareness of civic engagement opportunities.
