College Advising Corps - Boston University

The College Advising Corps (CAC) is a national non-profit organization that works to increase opportunities for students by making education beyond high school more accessible and equitable. College Advising Corps-Boston University (CAC-BU) places well-trained, recent college graduates as full-time advisers in 32 area high schools (Boston Public Schools, KIPP Academy Lynn Collegiate High School, Malden High School & Somerville High School) to help students navigate the complex processes of college admissions, matriculation and securing financial aid.

CAC-BU selects recent Boston-area college graduates for a year of full-time AmeriCorps service as college advisers in partner high schools. AmeriCorps member college advisers will report to program staff and to an on-site supervisor in each of the schools they will serve. They serve for 1-2 years in a paid AmeriCorps service position and receive a living allowance as well as a benefits package including health and dental, educational award, and tuition remission.
