Honey W. Nashman Center for Civic Engagement & Public Service

This program is a partnership between The George Washington University and the DC Public school system that places AmeriCorps VISTA Members in Title I schools

throughout the city. AmeriCorps VISTA Members commit to one year of service with the GW/DCPS Partnership. Our VISTA Members leverage resources, as a School-Community Liaison, by building capacity and sustainable infrastructures in three key areas: community partners, community and parent engagement/outreach, and GW resources and capital. We also place VISTA Members in three divisions at DCPS Central Office including; Out of School Time Programs, Office of Family and Public Engagement, and Chief of Schools. These members prove to be an integral part of the team by bringing the work that our School-Community Liaison VISTAs do to Central Office, as well as, creating opportunities for that work to shared with other schools and the greater DC community.
