MSA partners with nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, and public entities to reinvigorate civic involvement to help address the Commonwealth's most critical needs.
Agencies can apply to host 2-4 full-time members or 2-6 half-time members for a 10 month term of service in one of our designated focus areas: economic opportunity, education (early or K-12), health/nutrition, veterans' support, and youth development/youth violence prevention. Host site agencies are asked to be partners in providing ongoing support and professional development to our service members and other shared programmatic, administrative, and fiscal responsibilities.
Commonwealth Corps Members make a difference through their host site agencies by: providing direct service, building capacity of local organizations, and recruiting and mobilizing additional volunteers.
