Hosting an AmeriCorps*VISTA
The Wisconsin Campus Compact AmeriCorps*VISTA Community-Campus Partnership Project was funded in 2010 by the Corporation for National and Community Service. In 2012, 25 AmeriCorps*VISTA members will serve as change agents throughout Wisconsin. The primary objective of this project is to increase the capacity of local community organizations that provide services to members of low-income groups in order to help them escape from poverty. The AmeriCorps*VISTA members’ focus will be on facilitating, and assisting to maintain, community-campus partnerships that result in the intellectual, human, and material resources of institutions of higher education being mobilized to address community-identified issues of concern related to poverty.
We are currently accepting host site applications. Applications are due on March 2, 2012
