There are still lots of open positions. Let's find the one that's right for you.
The First-Gen College Access Project at the Center for New York City Affairs is seeking a social media creator and/or aspiring publisher to help run promotional and business operations at our new website at UnderstandingFAFSA.org. The website and email newsletter are focused on helping first-generation students and college access counselors understand and navigate our nation's complicated and confusing financial aid process. We work closely with students and counselors to design, craft, and test materials with the goal of making college financial aid easy to understand. This is an ideal position for a student with a passion for web publishing, social media and/or journalism who is interested in helping first-generation college students and all families navigate the FAFSA and financial aid, avoid too much college debt and get as much free money for college as possible. You will help build the website's audience and impact working directly with schools on new product development, developing social media promotional strategies and crafting the publication's search engine optimization (SEO) strategy. This is an ideal position for a student interested in the creator economy and/or learning all aspects of online media management. Training will be provided. This work-study position is for 10-20 hours per week with flexibility around the semester schedule. All work and meetings can be remote, though we hope to organize an in-person team meeting occasionally. This is a federal work-study position with the possibility of evolving into a permanent student position.
