Colorado Campus Compact

Colorado Campus Compact works with a network of Campus Coordinators who administer Compact Service Corps locally at each of our 41 participating campuses and community partner agencies. Coordinators are responsible for recruiting students to join Compact Service Corps, ensuring that Members properly enroll in the program, sharing opportunities for personal and professional development and reflection with Members, managing Members during their service experience, and properly exiting Members from the program upon completion of their required hours. Coordinator training and technical assistance is provided by Colorado Campus Compact’s Compact Service Corps staff and all materials are created by CCC.
