[Mathmajors] Earn Money for School while Volunteering (fwd)

[Brooke Miller]

Dear Students:

I am writing to tell you about the Students in Service program offered 
through the Carlson Leadership & Public Service Center and the Washington 
State Campus Compact. Students in Service is a part-time AmeriCorps 
program designed to meet critical community needs by engaging higher 
education students in service, and fostering within them an ethic of civic 
responsibility.

Through Students in Service, students who are engaged in local, regional 
and national community service and service learning opportunities have the 
opportunity to enroll as a part time AmeriCorps member and to earn an 
educational award at the end of their term of service. The number of 
service hours completed determines the amount of this award. Students who 
are engaged in volunteer work in the community, and expect to complete 
either 300 hours or 450 hours of work over the course of the next year, or 
900 hours over the next two years, are eligible to enroll in the program.

This is a wonderful way for students to become involved in their 
communities and to learn about the endless possibilities that come with 
engaging in service. The Carlson Center hosts 2-3 in person orientations 
each week. Interested students can contact inserve at u.washington.edu for 
more information. A schedule of orientation sessions can be viewed at 
http://depts.washington.edu/leader/11_SIS/orientation_times.htm.

Students are encouraged to visit www.studentsinservice.org to learn more 
about the program. Before attending the University of Washington 
orientation, students are required to complete an on-line orientation at 
this site.
