The CUNY Service Corps at the College of Staten Island began receiving student applications for 2018-2019 membership as of Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2018. With increased recruitment efforts, I anticipate a need for about ten to 12 volunteer readers to help vet applications. Each application must be read, reviewed, and ranked by two readers using an online assessment rubric. Readers will review between ten to 15 applications per week, based on personal availability.

The timeline for reviewing applications is five days or sooner from date received, and the review process will move very quickly based on the student application priority deadline of Friday, Feb. 16, 2018 and the Sunday, Mar. 11, 2018 final deadline. If you are interested in being a Service Corps Application Reader, please email  cheryl.barzey@csi.cuny.edu immediately. You will then receive a Prezi presentation, which will help you understand the application scoring and assessment process.

Thank you for your continued support and service to this program. Your help with reading applications is invaluable and greatly appreciated.

Please feel free to contact me directly with questions.
