College students are earning money for public service as part of the College Corps, a new state program, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. With $73.1 million from California’s general fund, College Corps pays thousands of college students throughout the state to help tutor, run after-school programs, participate in climate work and help curb hunger, among other acts of public service. “College Corps is a great way to earn a living,” Josh Fryday, the state’s chief service officer who oversees California Volunteers, told the San Francisco Chronicle. So far, students have logged more than a million hours of service – and those who complete 450 hours at one of the participating non-profits are paid $10,000.
Thrilled to see the College Corps initiative making a significant impact in California! As a college student myself, being part of this program has not only allowed me to contribute to meaningful causes like tutoring and climate work but has also provided a great way to earn a living. The $10,000 incentive for completing 450 hours of service is not only motivating but a testament to the value placed on students’ dedication. Kudos to California for investing in both education and community service through such innovative initiatives!
