Statement Of Purpose: CUNY Service Corps

Decent Essays
For me, service means helping someone in need when they do not have a lot of options. But service also mean to give back to the community . As an international student coming from France, I am here in New York and even if it is not my community, I Iive here now and I want to help my new city. So being part of the CUNY Service Corps could really help me embrace my New York life but also help me gain professional experience.
I want to be in Service Corps because I really enjoy helping people. Plus, I think that it is a good program that CUNY offers, to be able to work for a nonprofit organization within the school system. It gives you an opportunity to work somewhere you will not be able to work otherwise.
