<p>Campus Compact VISTA - University of Cincinnati Blue Ash</p> <p>The Campus Compact AmeriCorps VISTA program places AmeriCorps VISTA members in full service with our campus and community partners for one year. 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 members' work is to build capacity, meaning that rather than directly serving the community, they enhance or create 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 AmeriCorps.

This work will include developing relationships with community partners to offer expanded service-learning opportunities to students. The VISTA will create systems for students who are not in a traditional service-learning course to have access to micro service-learning experiences. The VISTA will also develop systems to increase volunteer participation and service-learning opportunities with the food pantry.</p> <p>Program Benefits : Stipend , Relocation Allowance , Childcare assistance if eligible , Training , Education award upon successful completion of service , Housing , Choice of Education Award or End of Service Stipend , Health Coverage* , Living Allowance .</p> <p>Terms :</p> <p>Car recommended , Permits attendance at school during off hours , Permits working at another job during off hours .</p> <p>Service Areas :</p> <p>Community Outreach , Education , Community and Economic Development , Hunger .</p> <p>Skills :</p> <p>Team Work , Community Organization , Recruitment , Public Speaking , Leadership , Counseling , Communications , Teaching/Tutoring , General Skills , Education .</p>
