At the beginning of each semester, the EC hires students for its staff teams.  Students must be able to work at least 5 hours a week, go through a full-day staff training, and attend a weekly meeting where they will touch base with other team members, get updates, and take on new assignments for the week.  Each team has a coordinator who facilitates the team’s work.  

Wages for staff positions at the EC range between $8.50 and $10.00/hr depending on experience.  Coordinators earn more.  If you have work-study, use your hours at the EC!!  Come work for us!  

Students without work-study should apply and inquire about funding.  The funding we have available for non-work-study student changes often, so students should check back on a regular basis.  Students without work-study often work as volunteer staff for a semester to qualify for a paid position.

Volunteer staff members and work-study students are eligible for Americorps Education Awards ranging from $1,000-$2,362.50 depending upon the number of hours you can commit to work.
