Job Description:
Campus Compact VISTA Museum of the Pacific War
The Campus Compact AmeriCorps VISTA program places AmeriCorps VISTA
members in full service with our campus and community partners for
a one-year period. During this year, members spend 35 hours per
week on their host site's campus or with one of that campus's
community partners to work on building systems and programs that
support low-income college students and community members. The
VISTA member's work is to build capacity, meaning that rather than
directly serving the community, they're enhancing or creating
systems, structures, and resources that support the direct
anti-poverty work. Campus Compact functions as the central VISTA
program hub, performing program administration, offering training
and support to VISTA members and their projects, and connecting the
work happening in individual projects both to similar work
happening nationwide and back to AmeriCorps. For detailed program
information and FAQs, please visit our website.
Member Duties : The National Museum of the Pacific War (NMPW)
provides the nation's most comprehensive account of World War II in
the Asiatic Pacific theater. Our mission is to use our collection
to promote responsible citizenship and leadership, inspiring all
generations to understand the enduring impact and relevance of the
Pacific War. The VISTA member will play a pivotal role in the
development and implementation of a new program at NMPW. This
project aims to address educational disparities and cycles of
poverty by providing underserved schools with access to
high-quality educational resources. The focus of this initiative
involves the creation of engaging traveling trunks that are
designed to enhance K-12 academic success, foster student
engagement, and develop crucial socio-emotional skills. The VISTA
member will research and create two traveling trunks that consist
of lesson plans aligned to state and national educational
standards, supplemental activities, and artifacts from our
collection.
