COMMUNITY WORK-STUDY APPLICATION
Students are employed by the Rockhurst University work-study program but perform the work at an area school or youth-serving non-profit organization through the Community Work-Study Program. Students may work as a tutor helping with homework and basic skills; lead arts and crafts activities; mentor youth in character-building programs or assist with after-school programming at one of the following four organizations. Students must be available to work during the hours of operation and provide their own transportation. Most of the sites are either on the bus line or are close enough to walk. Rockhurst students will receive training and on-site orientation.
Learn more about community sites.
