As part of a statewide effort to promote summer enrichment opportunities for students in grades K-12, the AccelerateCT task force is recruiting up to 500 Corps members to serve in the College Corps CT Summer Program during the 2022 summer season. All undergraduate college students who attend Connecticut colleges and universities are eligible to apply, including Class of 2022 graduating college seniors. Connecticut residents who attend college out of state are also eligible.
Corps members will receive one week of specialized training prior to being matched with summer enrichment programs throughout the state. They will work for approximately seven weeks supporting summer programs to provide joyful, stimulating experiences for youth. The total number of hours per week will vary by site, with an anticipated average of about 30 hours per week. In addition to the 7 weeks of work, a paid mandatory training will take place from June 6 – 10, 2022. Work at host sites could begin as early as June 13, 2022.
