Paid ($$) Jobs for the CUNY Census Project (not an internship)

Posted on by

CUNY is collaborating with the NYC government so that the 2020 census count is fair, accurate, and complete. One exciting component of the new CUNY Census Project is the creation of CUNY Census Corps. CUNY will hire 200 students to educate, engage, and mobilize neighbors, friends, family, and other students to complete the census.

Not only will Census Corps help New York City reach all neighborhoods and communities, it will also build students’ leadership, problem solving, teamwork, and communication skills as well as grow their networks so they have increased access to meaningful employment after graduation.

CUNY Census Corps starts in mid-January and lasts for 5 to 7 months. Students will earn $15/hour and work approximately 12 hours per week. Students from all of CUNY’s 25 colleges can participate.

In order to join, students must:

  • Be matriculated in a CUNY degree program in fall 2019 and plan to reenroll in spring 2020
  • Have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 (or higher) and at least 12 college credits at the end of fall 2019
  • Be committed to working through June 2020

Census Corps needs students who can speak fluently in languages in addition to English, but all students are encouraged to apply.

As part of Census Corps, students can expect to:

  • Give presentations
  • Table at events
  • Collaborate with community or student groups
  • Track and use data

 

Applications are due Thursday, November 14.
