Benefits of Service Programs
A post-graduate service program may provide you with:
- Housing, healthcare, a living stipend, loan deferment, and (in some cases) money towards student loans
- Experience of living in community with other full-time volunteers, providing a transition between the social world of a college campus and the world beyond
- Great work experience equal to many paid positions in areas such as teaching, environmental justice and work with indigenous populations, work with children, healthcare and mental health, racial justice and more.Â
