Montana Campus Compact

Montana Campus Corps

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. If you are receiving a modest living allowance administered by your campus during your term of service, specifically for your involvement in the program, you are a Service Team member. Otherwise (most members), you are a Service-Learning member. All members, both Service Team and Service-Learning, 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.

Program Coordinators

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