Overview
The mission of Montana Campus Corps is to actively engage college students in meeting community-identified needs through meaningful service. Each year, this AmeriCorps program places students from MTCC member institutions with community agencies, non-profit organizations, schools, and healthcare facilities to address Montana's most challenging problems. Campus Corps members serve in the fields of education, human services, public health and safety, the environment, and homeland security, and are helping to improve our state while gaining valuable connections and skills, and insight into communities and careers in the common good.
Service Team and Service-Learning Members
The program has two equally important parts: Service Team members are part of a team-based corps that primarily focuses on extra-curricular service, while the service of Service-Learning members is focused on addressing community needs while meeting academic goals. All members who successfully complete a term of service receive an Education Award. Many Service-Learning members are combining AmeriCorps service with their academic work, so they also receive course credit for their service term hours, in addition to an Education Award.
Training
Students serving with Campus Corps receive training so that they are better equipped with the skills required to address community needs. As a result of their academic course work, Service-Learning members receive discipline-specific training, such as lesson planning and teaching techniques, nursing and radiologic procedures, and social work and counseling practices. Service Team members receive service-specific training in such areas as volunteer recruitment and management, project planning, time management, and team work skills. All Campus Corps members reflect upon their service and the type of impact it will have on the local community, in order to better understand communities and themselves. Local and regional training is partially sponsored by the Campus Corps Training Ground grant initiative..
Community Partner Information
Each year, Campus Corps partners with hundreds of community agencies, nonprofits, public schools and healthcare facilities. These "community partners" form a network of Campus Corps host sites throughout the state. Representatives of these community agencies apply directly to a local campus to request the assistance of Campus Corps members at their school or agency, and agree to take on the responsibility of daily oversight and supervision throughout the service year. At the end of a member's term of service with Campus Corps, community partner representatives are asked to complete a brief Community Partner Survey to report on the impact of the program at their school or agency.

Program Coordinator Information
Campus Corps Program Coordinators are campus-based staff or faculty members at member institutions who recruit, supervise, and coordinate Campus Corps members. To enroll in the program, a student must first speak with the program coordinator on their campus or in their department regarding the Campus Corps opportunities that may be available and orientation schedule(s).
