2026 Empire State Service Summer Corps Internship – Paid!

Posted on by

The Empire State Service Corps is a paid summer program that provides students with real-world paid service opportunities that benefit all New Yorkers. SUNY undergraduate or graduate students are encouraged to apply on the SUNY website by January 31, 2026, for one of the 150 paid civic and service internships that will take place from May through August.

Students participating in the Empire State Service Corps dedicate at least 300 hours to engaging in paid community service and convene regularly to share and learn from each other’s experiences.

Focus areas Empire State Service Corps Members traditionally work in include:

  • Civic Engagement/Civil Discourse: Students will serve either on or off campus with organizations such as local nonprofits related to civic engagement and civil discourse, including nonpartisan voter outreach, voter registration, and engaging campus peers in voter activity.
  • Early Childhood Education (new in 2025-26): Students will serve at a host site dedicated to early childhood education and/or development (for example, daycare or Head Start centers).
  • FAFSA Completion: Students will serve local communities, in visits to local high schools and through work on campus, to support students in completing the FAFSA.
  • Food Insecurity/SNAP Basic Needs: Students will serve on or off campus supporting students and others with SNAP outreach as well as basic needs support (which could include shifts at a campus food pantry) or with other food insecurity-aligned work.
  • K-12 Education: Students will partner with local school districts for regular tutoring sessions with students in the community who need more academic support.
  • Peer Mental Health: Students will be trained to serve as a peer mental health educator, typically at a campus/community wellness or counseling center. Students will support peers either on or off campus in supporting strong mental health practices and overall wellness initiatives.
  • Student Success Coaching (new in 2025-26): Students will work with middle and high school students to combat common challenges external to academics like addressing chronic absenteeism, access to socio-emotional learning, mentoring, and mental health support.
  • Sustainability: Students will serve in campus roles and with local nonprofits and State agencies on sustainability work, such as recycling campaigns, tree planting, pollinator gardens, and sustainability outreach.
  • Veterans Affairs Outreach (new in 2025-26): Students will serve at host sites dedicated to supporting active military or veterans’ affairs for individuals, families, or affiliated groups.
