Our Programs
All Campus Compact of Oregon programs are committed to promoting racial equity and social justice, and eliminating inequities that exist in Oregon in postsecondary access and success for students of color and first generation students. AmeriCorps members are placed at colleges, universities, K12 schools, or education nonprofits and work with a supervisor at these host sites. Each of our programs achieve this mission in a slightly different way.
AmeriCorps VISTA
VISTA members are committed to developing equitable community-engaged programming that increases educational access and success for students from low-income backgrounds and communities of color. Using an equity lens, VISTAs build capacity for college campuses and organizations to increase access for educational resources, to alleviate poverty based on community identified issue areas, and empower students to be change agents in their communities. VISTA Members develop programs, build relationships and partnerships with community organizations, lead community-wide service days, and provide leadership development, support and training for volunteers.
