CHANGE YOURSELF, CHANGE YOUR WORLD…
and earn $1000 while serving your community!

NC-ACTS! is an AmeriCorps program of North Carolina Campus Compact (NCCC), and funded by a grant from the Corporation for National & Community Service. This program seeks to foster civic engagement among students of higher education, promote the national service movement, and encourage collaborative relationships between campuses and their communities.

What do NC-ACTS! members do?

NC-ACTS! AmeriCorps members will complete 300 hours of community service during the academic year at 1-2 nonprofit agencies of their choice. NCSU NC-ACTS! members may serve in three different areas:

Education

  • Examples include, but are not limited to, tutoring elementary school children, mentoring high school students, working with refugees on financial literacy…
  • Student Teaching counts!

Human Needs

  • Examples include, but are not limited to, working in a homeless shelter, serving in area hospitals, participating as a volunteer EMT…
  • Social Work Interns are eligible!

Volunteer Recruitment/Capacity Building

  • Examples include, but are not limited to: coordinating volunteers, working with publicity
    and marketing for volunteer programs, assisting with technological needs of nonprofits, etc.
  • This program is ideal for student teachers, social work interns, and students otherwise committed to long-term service (for example EMT's and students already serving 8-10 hours a week somewhere in Raleigh). For those students hoping to begin or expand their volunteer experience, we would be pleased to assist you to find a good match!

What are the benefits associated with this program?

  • Connect with other NCSU students who share a similar concern for their communities
  • We will meet 2 times a semester to reflect on your service experience and enjoy team and individual development activities… Better still, these meetings will all count toward your 300-hour commitment!
  • Network with other NC-ACTS! members across the state.
  • You will participate in online reflection sessions.
  • EARN A $1000 EDUCATIONAL AWARD - Members receive an educational award of $1000 upon completion of 300 hours of community service over the course of Fall and Spring semesters. The educational can be applied to college tuition, current or future student loans (federal loans only in the students name), or graduate school costs. Learn More
