AmeriCorps VISTA


Established in 2007 through a partnership with the Corporation for National and Community Service, the Campus Compact of Oregon AmeriCorps VISTA program enables colleges, universities and community organizations to develop equitable community-engaged programming that increases educational access and success for students from low-income backgrounds and communities of color. Through a collaborative, process-oriented approach grounded in black feminist theory to developing an equity lens and putting it into practice, VISTAs with Campus Compact build capacity for college campuses and organizations to increase access to educational resources to alleviate poverty based on community-identified issue areas.

Campus Compact of Oregon VISTA Equity Statement
​​
We know that a college education is a critical tool to break the cycle of poverty and improve the health and welfare of low-income communities. Many low-income students lack the historical privilege and social capital to effectively navigate the college application and financial aid process. This becomes even more clear when you focus on low-income students of color who also face institutional racism and a growing educational opportunity gap. Campus Compact of Oregon is looking for motivated, energetic candidates who can use their passion for social justice, equity, and education to serve on our VISTA Team to empower Oregon’s low-income students, with a specific focus on students of color.
