Community-Based Work-Study

The Community-Based Work Study program is designed to give students an opportunity to earn their financial aid awards (work-study funds) through employment at off-campus community service agencies such as local non-profit organizations, government entities and schools. The program provides students with the opportunity to make meaningful contributions to local organizations, learn about community needs and develop professional skills.

This program operates during the academic year only.

Community Mentor Program

The community mentor program focuses on connecting FVCC students with members of the community that work in the student’s career field of interest. Students will be given a chance to learn what it is like working in their field of interest and to know what is required of them to enter that field. They will also be able to develop their professional network and become more engaged in the community.
