Apply for Off Campus Student Employment!
Off-Campus Student Employment (OCSE) is an opportunity for students to earn their financial aid awards while working with a local community partner. It’s designed to create and strengthen institutional partnerships between Macalester and local community organizations. The focus of our program is to encourage students to serve as a bridge between the local organization and Macalester, enabling both to build on the varied resources of the other.
Apply for the Action Fund!
The Action Fund supports off-campus community engagement projects proposed and led by students in direct collaboration with a local community-based organization. The projects all have action components, fulfilling unmet needs of Twin Cities’ communities, as well as learning/education components that promote reflection, meaning making, and sharing of lessons learned. Award amounts up to $5,000 or less are available per project.
