Campus Compact VISTA Stanford University - Valley Verde
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.
Duties
Valley Verde is a nonprofit advancing food security, justice, and sovereignty in San José, Morgan Hill, and Gilroy, through urban gardening education and resources. The position is for the second year of a three-year project to develop a community urban market. The position involves planning and building support for a new community urban market that reduces food insecurity and boosts incomes, while improving our understanding of the food-related needs of Santa Clara County residents.
The VISTA will conduct community assessment via interviews and surveys, perform research into similar vegetable marketplaces, and work with Valley Verde staff to develop a pilot program for this initiative.
