Community Work-Study
Community Work Study allowed me to gain hands on experience connection to my major since my freshman year. These experiences and connections will help when when I look into applying to jobs and graduate school. Immersing myself in the Providence community was the best thing I could have ever done.

Community Work-Study is an opportunity for students with a federal work study award to work with our off-campus community partners and be paid through their federal work study funding. Students are able to gain real world work experience related to their interests or field of study while building a strong relationship with the surrounding community and serving as a resource to Providence College’s partner community organizations.
