Program Overview
Queens College Service Corps (QCSC) mobilizes students to intern in local nonprofit organizations and work on projects that improve the civic, economic, and environmental sustainability of New York City. The internships help support participating students’ success in college and preparation for the workplace by providing valuable skill-building opportunities and exposure to real-world careers. Students also participate in community service activities and receive professional development, including a pre-internship orientation, monthly workshops, and touchpoint meetings that cultivate meaningful links between their projects, college coursework, and professional goals and interests.
With QCSC, you can make a difference in your community, and gain professional skills and experience!

Community Partner Testimonials
“We had a great experience working with the QCSC program this academic year. From recruitment to communication with the QC team, to working with the actual interns, everything was very smooth. We were very happy with the interns we had working with us and are happy to announce that both of them were placed with continued summer paid employment/internships.”
