About the program:
The CUNY Service Corps, an intensive civic engagement and professional
development program, aspires to develop the next generation of community
leaders. The program inspires and prepares students to give back to their
communities and to integrate service into their college education. It
mobilizes students to work on neighborhood projects that tackle pressing
community needs at the grassroots level in four areas: health, education,
economic development and sustainability. While practicing engaged
citizenship, students also increase their transferable skills, workplace
skills, leadership, people skills, self-confidence, knowledge of social
issues and the landscape of community-based organizations.
The program is a 24-week commitment, 12 hours a week and pays $12/hr.
