Off-Campus Jobs
Off-campus FWS jobs are those with community service agencies, schools, government, or nonprofits in Evanston whose services are open and accessible to Evanston community residents, particularly low-income individuals, and are designed to improve their quality of life and to solve issues related to their needs. Students employed in these roles may provide direct or indirect services. Statutory-defined services include:
- health care, child care, literacy, training, education (including tutoring), welfare, social services, transportation, housing and neighborhood improvement, public safety, crime prevention and control, recreation, community improvement, and emergency preparedness and response;
- support services for individuals and students with disabilities*;
- tutoring, supporting educational and recreational activities, and counseling; and
- projects that teach civics in schools, raise awareness of government functions and/or resources, and increase civic participation.
*Including students with disabilities who are enrolled at Northwestern University. This is the only statutory exception to the requirement that community service is not open and accessible to the community.
Off-campus FWS job opportunities are posted on the Northwestern Student Job Board.
