North Carolina Education Corps

The North Carolina Education Corps is a joint project of the North Carolina Board of Education and the Governor’s office. It creates jobs for compassionate and pioneering citizens like you to meet the pressing educational needs of our students in K-12 education. We seek applicants who are ready to roll up their sleeves to help where needed and build a better North Carolina. To join us, apply by November 22!

Covid-19 has disrupted dramatically K-12 education across our state. Students learning from home are feeling disengaged. Many are caring for younger siblings or working to make ends meet for their families instead of being able to focus on their education. Some students and teachers need help using technology effectively for remote education. Social and emotional challenges, racial and technological disparities, and economic instability are impeding students’ ability to thrive. 

North Carolina school districts have requested corps members to serve as tutors, mentors, counselor’s aides, volunteer coordinators, and contact tracers. Some administrative support will be expected in each of these capacities, and there will be natural overlap between these roles.
