Campus Compact VISTA - Arapahoe Community College

AmeriCorps, Boston, MA, United States


The Campus Compact AmeriCorps VISTA program places AmeriCorps VISTA members in full‑time service with 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 build 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 enhance or create systems, structures, and resources that support 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 work happening in individual projects to similar work happening nationwide and back to AmeriCorps.

Member Duties
The Arapahoe Community College (ACC) Concurrent Enrollment (CE) AmeriCorps VISTA position focuses on expanding access, creating initiatives, and providing student success support for concurrently enrolled, low‑income high‑school students in the Denver metro area. As ACC’s CE program has grown nearly 30% in the last three years, the VISTA will explore data and systems to understand where and how low‑income students are missing out. The VISTA will help conduct data analysis of low‑income students served through ACC's CE program versus participatory rates of the school districts we serve, and based on this analysis will develop strategic interventions such as a peer program and scalable access to tutoring to support these students’ future college credit success in high school.
