Student Volunteers

Student volunteers are provided educationally related work assignments to supplement their education program. Normally, such work assignments would not exceed one semester (or quarter). A written agreement is developed jointly between the school and SSA, which outlines the responsibilities of each organization. Students are not paid for volunteer services.

College

We use this program to hire qualified and talented individuals and to increase the representation of people with disabilities (Much of the same qualifying criteria as STEP program – financial need is not a requirement)
