Students who have federal work study within their financial aid packages must apply for positions through the Moreau Center to be considered for Community Service Work Study (CSWS). 

CSWS student employees do not have to provide direct service to clients, although we would encourage organizations, when possible, to create opportunities for such. However, student employees can provide indirect service such as office work, research, general program support, or event planning. CSWS work must, in some way, clearly benefit the community, directly or indirectly. Additionally, a CSWS student employee cannot fill an already created paid position on staff and thus replace someone who would have received payment from your organization for the same position.

Each summer, the Moreau Center solicits CSWS job proposals from local community partners and non‐profit organizations. Job placements at CSWS partner sites are limited, and partners are encouraged to re‐apply each year for positions.

Regarding CSWS, the Moreau Center will seriously consider job proposals from partners who can provide the following:

• A position that offers work that will benefit the community it seeks to serve
• A position that offers interesting or engaging work (values the student worker’s skills, interests, and field of study)
• A willing, consistent, and committed supervisor who will be a resource to the CSWS student worker and to the Moreau Center
