Program Information

This initiative has three core goals:

Goal 1: Engage college students in meaningful service opportunities that build leadership skills and civic responsibility.

Goal 2: Help students from diverse backgrounds graduate college on time and with less debt.

Goal 3: Support the work of community-based organizations focused on key local priorities.

  • Passion for working in partnership with communities to make positive change;

  • Flexibility to work in different areas and adapt to changing circumstances;

  • Growth mindset and eagerness to try new things;
