AmeriCorp VISTA - CT Main Street & UCONN Extension
4/11/2016
The AmeriCorps VISTA program at Connecticut Campus Compact (CTCC) offers a great opportunity for individuals to join a cohort of service-driven colleagues to complete a year of service working with institutions of higher education and community-based organizations. The year of service is a great way to become involved in the community, develop professional and civic skills, and prepare for future work or education.
The VISTA team member will work in the CT Main Street Center’s (CMSC) Hartford office researching and developing website content for a new Downtown Resource Center including innovative mixed use redevelopment strategies, identifying appropriate layout and design for a new web based resource, and developing a communications strategy including extensive use of social media. The VISTA will also work with CMSC, UCONN-Extension and CT Campus Compact to explore the roles universities can play in directly shaping neighborhoods and downtowns as drivers of economic development.
- Priority deadline for applications is May 1, 2016.
- Anticipated start date is July 11, 2016.
