Applications open for the second annual Empire State Service Corps Program

SUNY Students Encouraged to Apply by April 18 Priority Deadline; Application Can Be Found Here

Albany, March 28, 2025—Governor Kathy Hochul announced the opening of applications for the second annual Empire State Service Corps Program, encouraging State University of New York students to apply for one of 500 paid civic and service internships this upcoming fall. The application opening signifies the program’s second year. During its first-ever application cycle, the program received over 2,000 student applications for 500 paid positions across 45 SUNY campuses within weeks of opening.

“The Empire State Service Corps is providing SUNY students with invaluable opportunities to serve their communities, gain hands-on experience, and build a foundation for future success,” Governor Hochul said. “By expanding civic engagement across New York, we empower the next generation of leaders to make a meaningful impact. I encourage all eligible students to apply and be part of this transformative program.”

The Empire State Service Corps is one of Governor Hochul’s 2024 State of the State priorities to expand service opportunities for college students. Students in the program dedicate at least 300 hours to paid community service and convene regularly to share and learn from each other’s experiences.
