NYC Civic Corps

NYC Service, an initiative of the Office of the Mayor, is now accepting applications for the NYC Civic Corps . The NYC Civic Corps is a diverse group of professionals, from recent graduates to experienced professionals, who dedicate one year of service to New York City . Corps members are dispatched in small teams to local non-profit organizations and City agencies with the charge of developing sustainable volunteer programs and expanding organizational capacity. The ultimate goal of the NYC Civic Corps is to engage more New Yorkers as volunteers to address some of our City's most pressing challenges, including education, economic opportunity, health, clean energy and the environment.



As AmeriCorps members committing one year of full-time service, NYC Civic Corps members receive a monthly stipend and an education award to address NYC's most critical challenges.


Mayor Michael Bloomberg said it best: “You can be a recent college graduate, a mother who’s looking to get back into the workforce, or someone who was recently laid off. It doesn’t matter. If you’re passionate about New York City and have a willingness and ability to serve your city for a year, then we want you.”


Applications are available at www.nyc.gov/service. Only online applications will be accepted, and the application deadline is June 30, 2010. To be eligible to join the NYC Civic Corps , individuals must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents with a Bachelor’s degree, and they must be willing to commit to a full-time (40 hours per week) position starting in August, 2010.
