Member Duties : This VISTA position supports a collective impact initiative led by Rutgers University–Camden Community Engagement to address poverty in Camden by strengthening coordination among community partners, volunteers, and campus resources. The VISTA will help build a data-driven infrastructure using GivePulse to improve how organizations communicate needs, manage volunteers, and deliver services related to food security, housing, education, and workforce development, with a particular focus on K-12 education. In the K-12 education space, the VISTA’s efforts will go beyond data infrastructure, and include developing volunteer systems by working with low-income college students through the Bonner Program, whose participants provide mentoring and tutoring to K–12 students. By enhancing partnerships, systems, and volunteer engagement, the role advances sustainable, community-informed solutions that expand access to critical resources and educational opportunities for Camden residents.
