Serve Your City, Shape Your Future - Join NYC Service AmeriCorps!
As an NYC Service AmeriCorps member, you’ll receive real-world professional experience at a City agency or non-profit 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.
Last year NYC Service AmeriCorps members made a difference in the lives of 58,000 New Yorkers. Will you join the call to service?
Our members are managing volunteers in food pantries, cleaning up streets and local parks, mentoring youth, responding to city emergencies, and connecting low-income communities to health resources. Whatever your passion, NYC Service AmeriCorps has a position for you!
NYC Service AmeriCorps members earn valuable resume-building professional experience while building connections within and gaining exposure to City government or the NYC nonprofit sector. Members also receive the following benefits during their service term:
Living allowance (up to $24,000 pre-tax)
Monthly 30-Day Unlimited MetroCards
