As an NYC Service AmeriCorps member, you’ll receive real-world professional experience at a City agency or nonprofit while tackling some of New York City’s most pressing challenges.
During your 10-month service term (September to June) you’ll get paid to serve your city, channel your passions, and jumpstart your career by practicing skills like project management, community outreach, or volunteer engagement at your host site.
NYC Service sets you up for success during and after your service term--connecting you to a cohort of future public leaders, providing you with trainings and career planning, and offering additional benefits.
This year NYC Service AmeriCorps members have already made a difference in the lives of 88,000+ New Yorkers. Will you join the call to service?
