The mission of the Commonwealth Corps is to engage Massachusetts residents of all ages and backgrounds in service to strengthen communities, address unmet community needs, and increase volunteerism. A few host sites across the state are still accepting applications for Commonwealth Corps Members to serve full-time or half-time from 8/14/14-6/27/15. Member benefits include: the opportunity to make a difference, a heavy focus on member development, a stipend, a completion award, health insurance (for full-time members only), and the opportunity to join with others with a common sense of purpose as part of the Commonwealth Corps.
Interested Massachusetts residents (18 or older) should apply directly to their host site(s) of interest ASAP.
