Campus Compact for Southern New England (CCSNE) is pleased to release the “Request for Host Site Proposals” for the 2019-2020 Campus Compact AmeriCorps VISTA program.
Become a Campus Compact VISTA Host Site
CCSNE is seeking proposals from member campuses and/or from school or non-profit partners to host an AmeriCorps VISTA member for a year of full-time volunteer service building capacity for projects that mobilize higher education to make a difference in the lives of individuals who live in poverty. VISTA members are leveraged to build capacity in one of five anti-poverty priority areas: Education, Economic Development, Healthy Futures, Veterans and Military Families and Environmental Stewardship. Applications are due March 1, 2019 and the 2019-2020 cohort begins July 22, 2019.
Host Site Application Resources:
Campus Compact is an intermediary AmeriCorps VISTA sponsor through the Massachusetts Office of the Corporation for National Service (CNCS). For the 2019-2020 program year, we anticipate having 50 AmeriCorps VISTA members (including 3 VISTA leaders) serving throughout CT, MA, and RI. The application process is competitive and awards under the Campus Compact VISTA program are subject to appropriations and approval from the Corporation for National Service.
