As an NYC Service AmeriCorps member, you’ll receive real-world professional experience at a City agency or non-profit to tackle some of New York City’s most pressing challenges. Join NYC Service AmeriCorps to explore public sector careers and we will equip you with the tools and connections you need to jumpstart your career and make an impact in your city.
During your 10-month service term (September to June) you’ll get paid to serve your city, channel your passions, and prepare for future careers by practicing project management, community engagement, and workforce readiness 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 professional development trainings & career planning, and offering additional benefits.
