Dear Student,
Only 2 weeks left! Apply to the CUNY Service Corps today if you have not done so yet! Here is how one alumnus explained its impact on his life:
“The Service Corps laid a foundation for my professional career. I was placed as an intern at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. I had a good experience with the internship and learning from my field of study. My supervisor provided a letter of recommendation at the end of the program which helped kick-start my getting into the workforce while job-hunting.The program made me grow professionally as well as personally and motivated me to do more for the community everyday.”
