In conjunction with the PA State Office of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), Pennsylvania Campus Compact (PACC) is pleased to announce twenty-one 2013-2014 AmeriCorps*VISTA opportunities. With the main goal of eradicating poverty and long-term capacity for communities, PACC*VISTA members serve across Pennsylvania at institutions of higher education and respective community partners. The 2013-2014 projects are grounded in the following focus areas: Education (K-12 Academic Achievement and College Access) and Healthy Futures (Food Access).

In addition to addressing pressing communities needs and fostering community and civic engagement at PACC member campuses, PACC*VISTAs are supported with professional and leadership development opportunities through PACC and at their host campus. Member selection is rolling and the tentative term of service is July 26, 2013 to July 25, 2014 with a mandatory orientation beginning on July 21, 2013.

For additional information about specific service opportunities, please review the 2013-2014 project abstracts linked from www.paccompact.org/serve or contact Amy Carraux Price at acprice {at} paccompact(.)org.
