Earn while you learn. Make a real difference in our community by working with a Community-Based Federal Work-Study Employer!
The Office of Community Engagement and Civic Learning (CECiL) at George Mason University partners with local community-based organizations to provide George Mason University students the opportunity to engage in Community-Based Federal Work Study (FWS). The FWS program provides part-time employment for undergraduate and graduate students who are eligible as evidenced in their financial package, allowing them to earn tax-free money to help pay education expenses.
How this works:
Off-campus community service jobs can be with local non-profit, governmental and community-based organizations that are designed to improve the quality of life for residents of the surrounding area. Community Service Employment positions aim to:
- Provide students with real life experience outside of the classroom
- Encourage students to consider careers in public service
- Provide community service organizations the opportunity to extend the population they service
- Allow students the opportunity to gain professional work experience
