Eastern Students Work to Support our Community
[email protected] operates the Community Work-Study program where undergraduate students can earn their awarded work-study funds and gain experience by working with local community-focused government or non-profit organizations. In the first two months of the Fall 2017 semester, 23 Eastern students have worked a combined 533 hours for an estimated benefit of $12,862 to 20 local non-profit organizations. If you know of any community organizations that may benefit from this program, please have them contact Luke Yates at [email protected].
