Campus Compact VISTA - Emory & Henry 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 work of this VISTA seeks to address the needs for strong community partnerships that facilitate service and career opportunities for Bonner scholars and other students. The VISTA will enhance partnerships in community services that address food and basic need insecurity, a critical need in the region that will provide meaningful, career‑enhancing opportunities for participating students. The VISTA will work with the director of the Appalachian Center for Civic Life to identify relevant partners and identify synergies that enhance the work of improving food systems in the region.

The goal is to establish models for food resilience in communities or neighborhoods that have been identified as food deserts, beginning with targeted, joint activities with partners. The VISTA will help to inventory the assets of partners to create mutually beneficial work plans in the development of such models, thus bringing more resources to the work of improving food access while avoiding redundancies.
