What are the responsibilities and job description for the Campus Compact VISTA Museum of the Pacific War position at AmeriCorps?
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 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. The VISTA will play a pivotal role in the continuation of the traveling trunk project and ensuring its sustainability. This project aims to address educational disparities by providing underserved schools with access to artifacts from our Educational Outreach Collection and high quality educational curriculum. As of Feb 2026 over 200 students from Title I schools have interacted with the trunks. In year 3, the VISTA will expand the reach of the project and help to create a sustainability plan for the future of the traveling trunk program. Other responsibilities include developing new traveling trunks and creating lesson plans aligned to state and national educational standards, supplemental activities, and artifacts from our Education Outreach Collection.
