Our Programs:

AmeriCorps*VISTA

Maine Campus Compact has been running a VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) program for over 10 years. 2011-12 VISTAs are focusing exclusively on supporting low-income youth in accessing a college education.

Awards Program

Each year, Maine Campus Compact presents awards to faculty, students and campus departments throughout the state who have embraced our mission of reinvigorating the civic component of higher education.

Faculty Consulting

The Campus Compacts of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont offer a consulting program to support campuses as they integrate service-learning and civic engagement programming into their curricula. Consultants are available to provide technical assistance and development training designed to meet the needs of faculty, administrators, or Community Service Directors. The goals of this program are: to assist colleges and universities and their faculty in implementing high quality, academically based service learning as a teaching and learning strategy - and - to support campuses in their efforts to infuse civic engagement into their curriculums.

The Fusion Project

Through this faculty development project, faculty will learn how to infuse service-learning components into online courses to give students hands on, real-world experience to strengthen learning, create connections to the larger community, and improve student retention rates.

Students in Service

Students in Service is a part-time AmeriCorps program engaging 60 Maine college students from all disciplines in service to address local community issues and gain valuable civic skills.

Workshops and Conferences

We are pleased to both present and support multiple opportunities for professional development and networking through our workshops and conferences.
