July, 2013 Dear Work-Study Student: Welcome to the Northwestern Work-Study Program! Enclosed you will find a Federal Work-Study brochure highlighting the most frequently asked questions as well as information on different job opportunities, including the America Reads and Community Service Program. During New Student Week, please plan to attend an orientation session. At that time, you will receive information on how to get started in the Federal Work-Study Program, learn about your responsibilities as a student employee, and get tips on securing a job. Orientation times and other important information are printed on the back of this letter. Sessions will take place on Friday, September 20th at the Norris University Center. Also, plan to attend the Work-Study Job Fair on Monday, September 23rd from 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. at SPAC (Henry Crown Sports Pavilion), 2311 Campus Dr. (north end of campus). You will have an opportunity to meet with over 50 on and off-campus employers and inquire about available positions which could lead to a work-study job you will enjoy. Please visit the Work-Study web site http://undergradaid.northwestern.edu/work-study to learn more about the program or to view the type of positions available. Our job postings will be current after September 1st for the upcoming academic year. You can also call 847-491-7574 or email the Work-Study Office NUworkstudy@northwestern.edu with any questions you may have. We look forward to having you join us as a member of the Northwestern Community! Sincerely, Anne D. Horne Work-Study Coordinator

Community Service Opportunities

As part of the Federal Work-Study Program, students are offered the opportunity to work “off-campus” at local not-for-profit community service agencies in Evanston. These jobs may include work in areas such as child care, health care, social services, recreation, mentoring, and literacy training. All of the jobs available are accessible by public transportation. We feel that by taking advantage of opportunities in the community service sector, you will be able to broaden your educational experience to include the spirit of volunteerism, while being paid for your efforts. In addition, this valuable work experience will add strength to your resume for future job opportunities. This program allows cash-strapped agencies to acquire the help they need at a low cost to them. As a result, you will play an integral role in bringing about the development of a stronger community. Jobs That Make A Difference You will be paid an hourly rate ($9.00 - $13.00) which can be higher than on-campus positions. The agencies engage in activities addressing such issues as community organization, medical research, arts and recreation, and mentoring. Many students have shaped their future career and personal objectives around the positive experiences they had as workers in community service—knowing that their efforts made a difference in peoples’ lives. A Meaningful Experience Community service employers recognize and appreciate the special talents Northwestern students have and are committed to ensuring that your experience as a student worker is valuable and meaningful. The ideals of personal, educational, and career-oriented development are encompassed in the philosophy and goals of this special feature of the Federal Work-Study Program. Please visit our web site: http://undergradaid.northwestern.edu/work-study for more information about “off-campus” employment.

AMERICA READS PROGRAM

Your college experience at Northwestern involves more than classrooms and textbooks. Through the America Reads Program, you have the opportunity to make a valuable contribution to the Evanston Community. Not only will you interact with elementary or middle school students, you will also help them develop their reading and math skills by tutoring and mentoring them one-on-one or in small groups. America Reads tutors earn $11 an hour and can work up to a maximum of 10 hours per week. Included in your hours is compensation for ½ hour of travel time for each day that you tutor. All participating sites are located 1.5 – 3.0 miles from campus either at Evanston elementary schools or local non-profit agencies that provide after school tutoring. They are easily accessible by public transportation – bus or train or you could ride a bike. Through the America Reads Program, you will gain a sense of pride and social responsibility by helping a child. After you have registered for classes, stop by our office (1801 Hinman, 2nd floor) to fill out an application. For more information, contact the Work-Study Office at (847) 491-7574 or NUworkstudy@northwestern.edu.
