In '24, Raising a Village hired 60+ students from American Uni., ‪‪@gwu1821.bsky.social, ‪@howard.edu‬, ‪@trinitydc.bsky.social‬ & Career Tech as tutors/mentors. 53% got #FederalWorkStudy, helping 400+ K12 students via 472 hours of tutoring, & boosting attendance to 92%/assignment completion to 89%.

Thanks for sharing, Cedar Crest College! "We had a student who started as a #FederalWorkStudy Community Tutor to make extra money... After 1 year of after school tutoring 2-3 days a week at our local Boys & Girls Club, our student changed her major to early education." bit.ly/share-your-f...

At WVU, the Purpose2Action program leverages #FederalWorkStudy to connect students with local nonprofits through paid service. This results in stronger student-community ties, career growth, and what one team calls “a reciprocal relationship between University and community.” bit.ly/3FqroVQ

At Step Up Tutoring, #FederalWorkStudy students provide free 1:1 #Tutoring in math & literacy to elementary students. 📚 Along the way, they develop career skills in time management, problem-solving & teamwork. 🎥 CEO Sam Olivieri shares more in the video below! #WorkStudy

The Community College of Philadelphia has placed 37 Federal Work-Study students in high-impact roles supporting K–12 students through its Adopt-A-School Program—exceeding their original goal as part of the @ps-success.bsky.social #HigherEducation Coalition. #FederalWorkStudy #StudentImpact

Last fall SAGA Education n sat down with Jesús Véliz, student and tutor at George Washington University, to discuss the impact tutoring through #FederalWorkStudy has had in his life. 🎤 His story offers a firsthand look at how these roles can support both learning and leadership.

#FederalWorkStudy can be a powerful tool that communities utilize to provide evidence-based supports to local K-12 students. Learn more about how Raising a Village uses FWS to support #HighImpactTutoring & #Mentoring w/ partners like @howard.edu: www.partnershipstudentsuccess.org/driven-2-suc...

Thanks to #FederalWorkStudy I was able to work with @TTPageDC to help kids in @dcpublicschools with literacy. #SaveFWS #Budget2017
