Join the Empire State Service Corps
And get paid for community service.
Get Paid for Doing Good
We know the value of doing good in the intrinsic rewards it provides, but now it can pay financially as well.
If you have a desire to do good and make a difference, you can get hands-on experience and serve your community through paid public service with the Empire State Service Corps.
Through the Empire State Service Corps, participating SUNY students engage in paid community service work for 300 hours over the course of a year.
Assignments could include tutoring in high-need K-12 schools, taking climate action working with leading State agencies, disaster relief and mitigation after severe weather events, working as a student success coach with an organization, and support for regional food banks and SNAP outreach to address food insecurity.
These internships allow SUNY students to be paid for meaningful work that can provide lifelong skills as well as service to their community.
“Through this initiative, we are providing paid service opportunities to SUNY students while doing the critical work of reconnecting our communities and grounding ourselves in our shared humanity. This is how we show up for one another and move our state forward.”
― Lieutenant Gov. Antonio Delgado
