My Year, My Words….

North Carolina Campus Compact North Carolina Campus Compact, launched in 2002, builds the capacity of colleges and universities to produce civically-engaged graduates and to strengthen communities. National Campus Compact is a coalition of nearly 1,200 college and university presidents — representing some 6 million students — who are committed to fulfilling the public purposes of higher education. As the only national association dedicated to this mission, Campus Compact is a leader in building civic engagement into campus and academic life

AmeriCorps-VISTA AmeriCorps-VISTA(Volunteers In Service To America) AmeriCorps VISTA provides full-time members to community organizations and public agencies to create and expand programs that build capacity and ultimately bring low- income individuals and communities out of poverty and feeding the hungry.

What do VISTAs do? VISTA members commit to serve full-time for a year at a nonprofit organization or local government agency, working to fight illiteracy, improve health services, create businesses, strengthen community groups, and much more.
