The CUNY Ser­vice Corps will mo­bi­lize CUNY stu­dents, fac­ulty and staff to work on pro­jects that im­prove the short and long-term civic, eco­nomic and en­vi­ron­men­tal sus­tain­abil­ity of New York City and of its res­i­dents and com­mu­ni­ties. The pro­gram’s goals are three-fold: for stu­dents to make a mean­ing­ful dif­fer­ence through ser­vice while gain­ing valu­able real-world work ex­pe­ri­ence, earn­ing a wage, and where ap­pro­pri­ate, re­ceiv­ing col­lege credit; for fac­ulty mem­bers and staff, through their work with stu­dents in the pro­gram, to have ad­di­tional op­por­tu­ni­ties to apply their ex­per­tise to ad­dress­ing many of the city’s key chal­lenges; and for res­i­dents, com­mu­ni­ties, and pro­ject spon­sors to re­al­ize con­crete ben­e­fits as a re­sult of CUNY Ser­vice Corps pro­jects.

The CUNY Service Corps will mobilize CUNY students, faculty and staff to work on projects that improve the short and long-term civic, economic and environmental sustainability of New York City and of its residents and communities. The program’s goals are three-fold: for students to make a meaningful difference through service while gaining valuable real-world work experience, earning a wage, and where appropriate, receiving college credit; for faculty members and staff, through their work with students in the program, to have additional opportunities to apply their expertise to addressing many of the city’s key challenges; and for residents, communities, and project sponsors to realize concrete benefits as a result of CUNY Service Corps projects.
