Community Work-Study

The Bonner Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) offers students with Federal Work-Study (FWS) a variety of opportunities to earn their award serving in the Richmond community.

Through the Community Work-Study (CWS) Program, students may work directly with contracted nonprofit or governmental organizations in a variety of issue areas. This is a full semester (preferably a full year) commitment, and a regular work schedule of at least four hours per week is required for participation in the program.
