Welcome Community Partners!
The Community Work Study program is a nomination-based community engagement agreement intended to enhance existing relationships between 成人头条 and external agencies by assisting community partners in achieving their agency's mission and goals; promoting the exchange of resources between the University and community agency; and demonstrating a commitment to social responsibility by addressing issues of public concern.
Program Description
Partnering agencies determine the available position(s) and may review student resumes to determine whether to schedule an interview. Once hired, students are permitted to work up to 19 hours per week for $7.25 per hour. Employers may rehire a student for subsequent semesters, or they may hire a new student for each semester. Employers must accommodate students' academic schedules and extracurricular activities
To ensure a successful experience for all, we ask for the following from our partner agencies:
The community partner agrees to host a work-study student to complete tasks and activities in connection to the program objectives. The community partner also agrees to appoint a supervisor/mentor to be the contact person and oversight manager for the student. This person must be willing to communicate with the Community Work-Study Program staff concerning the student as well as on project/work progress. Should any concerns or problems arise with the student, the supervisor agrees to communicate with the Center for Community Engagement staff.
Community Work-Study site supervisors are responsible for the overall supervision of the work-study student. Please offer the student with communication regarding the exact functions and responsibilities expected of the student in relation to the proposed project.
At beginning of the internship, the community partner along with the work-study student will discuss work hours, reporting and training requirements, and any additional information essential for the student to be successful throughout the project period. If any other applications, background checks, or consent forms are required of the student in order to begin work, these must be communicated directly to the student.
Upon completion of the internship, an evaluation form will be sent to the community partner to provide feedback on the student’s performance.
