Tisch College and partners are seeking a self-motivated and resourceful AmeriCorps VISTA member to join our team. The Tisch Community Research VISTA will help shape and implement an initiative that builds the community research capacity of local nonprofit organizations as well as Tufts students and faculty. The primary goal is to better understand community problems and potential solutions through research that is antiracist in orientation, leveraging community based participatory and action research approaches.
The main components of this initiative are: (a) piloting a participatory research cohort comprised of students and an antipoverty focused community partner, (b) developing/supporting related workshops, and (c) developing/compiling shareable online resources. In conjunction with the Director of Community Partnerships and the Director of the Tisch College Community Research Center, the VISTA will help expand community- university partnerships in Greater Boston and help plan and launch the initiative.
