PROGRAM UPDATES
Here at Campus Compact, we want to make sure our members have everything they need for a successful service term! To that end, we wanted to share some resources we've been working on and ask for your contributions.
Our Member Portal Site has everything you need to know for your term of service, from general program information to first 30 day requirements to reporting. We have been working on making updates to the site to ensure it is as helpful as possible and answers many common questions. In particular, check out the recent updates to the Service Requirements and Benefits section, First 30 Days section, and Time Tracking and Monthly Reports section.
Our PD, Trainings, and Events Calendar was created to house professional development and training opportunities you can participate in online or in the community. Check out the events already listed in the calendar, and help us add events to it! If you learn of any trainings, professional development opportunities or events, please email them to Team Leader Cody McSparren. Unlike your monthly team calls or monthly professional development calls through us, all items on this calendar are optional.
Our Resource Guide is meant to provide you with access to resources you may need during your term of service. This spreadsheet includes resources for things like food, mental health, housing, and more. Accessing available resources in the community is often essential to making that AmeriCorps member living stipend work for you during your term of service. Check out the resources in the guide and help us add to it! If you have any resources we can add to the guide, please email them to Team Leader Cody McSparren.
If you have any upcoming events please fill out this form, and let us know about it!

Community Table!
The University of Denver is proud to organize A Community Table, a week-long series of table conversations taking place April 20 th-25 th, 2020. A Community Table seeks to promote action for the public good by bringing individuals together to deliberate about issues such as healthcare, climate change, education access, and more. Currently, we are seeking AmeriCorps members to volunteer to host table conversations. When you sign up to host A Community Table, you'll join hundreds of other people who know that problems are solved by communities, that communities thrive when we work together, and that community begins with conversation. Registration will open up towards the beginning of the New Year, and we would love to have you involved! For more information, please visit https://grandchallenges.du.edu/events/community-table or contact the AmeriCorps DU site member, Peter Simons, at Peter.Simons@du.edu

MARCH SERVICE TIP:
Having Fun On the Cheap
If you can’t get it free, find deals.
Go to $5 movie nights at local movie theaters (usually Mondays or Tuesdays) or free popcorn days. Theaters may offer reduced-price tickets on certain nights or have pay-what-you-can shows. Keep your eyes open for free promotions at newly opened cafes, restaurants, and ice cream parlors. Locate the best local happy hour for affordable bites and drinks. Many urban areas have First Friday events with fun window-shopping, art-viewing, socializing, and cheap-eating opportunities.
