South Carolina Campus Compact sponsors AmeriCorps*VISTAs on member campuses throughout the state. SCCC VISTAs respond to the needs in the community surrounding the college or university they serve and mobilize student volunteers to make an impact both on campus and in the community. SCCC member campuses represent public and private, two-year, four-year, and research universities, and partner with both urban and rural communities across the state. We are currently recruiting for institutions throughout the state! All SCCC VISTAs work with their campus to: Build campus-community partnerships; Identify local poverty-related community needs; Facilitate programs that impact low-income populations; Mobilize student volunteers; Educate faculty, staff, students, and the community at large about service learning. Other responsibilities will vary among member institutions and will be outlined in site specific position descriptions. SC Campus Compact VISTAs come from a variety of backgrounds with different professional goals, but all are prepared to take leadership in planning and managing projects and inspiring students, faculty, staff and community members to take action together. SC Campus Compact VISTAs act as change agents on a campus and in a community and have a demonstrated commitment to community service, service-learning, or social justice. We look for candidates with strong written and verbal communication skills who will empower communities, leverage institutional resources, and build capacity for sustainable social change. We do require that VISTAs have a Bachelors or Associates degree.  Start Date: July 2011.
