What are the responsibilities and job description for the Campus compact VISTA Michigan State U - Circular Economics position at AmeriCorps?
The Campus Compact AmeriCorps VISTA program places AmeriCorps VISTA members in full service with our campus and community partners for one year. 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 members’ work is to build capacity, meaning that rather than directly serving the community, they enhance or create 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 Circular Economic VISTA Project will support the planning, development, and implementation of a Circular Economic Institute at Michigan State University. To do this, the VISTA will help design a circular economic professional development certificate program. It will also grow the circular economy network forming in MI, including public, private, and funding contacts to strengthen the ecosystem. Additionally, it will identify workforce development needs for circular transitions. Lastly, the member will serve to help coordinate a budding six-university collaboration across the Midwest to reduce rural disparities through circular practices. This includes helping to build out a higher education summit, convening partners in dialogue and webinar sessions, adding to an online clearinghouse of circular resources, and developing a “train-the-trainer” curriculum for Extension piloting.
