Commonwealth Corps Service Year 2009-2010 is starting!

Apply Today!
Check out available opportunities on Connect and Serve.

Commonwealth Corps is the first statewide initiative to engage Massachusetts residents of all ages and backgrounds in service to their community. Since the program’s launch in 2008, over 270 Corps members aged 18-82 helped students improve grades, reduced hunger, educated elders about services and answered calls of distress. 33 partner organizations are recruiting to fill their Commonwealth Corps member positions for the upcoming 2009-2010 service year that will begin in September.

Please help us spread the word about Commonwealth Corps opportunities and encourage members of your community to consider this service opportunity! Please share the attached flyer with your library community.

Residents can view Corps opportunities listed by host organizations throughout the Commonwealth from Holyoke to Roxbury, the Cape to Worcester, Revere to New Bedford, and dozens of communities in between by visiting Connect and Serve, the statewide volunteer web portal. Corps members serve up to twelve months in full-time, part –time or flex-time capacities and receive a stipend.

If you would like more information, please contact me or Cynthia Orellana at 617-725-4036 or via email at Commonwealth.Corps@state.ma.us.
