City Colleges of Chicago (CCC), the largest community college system in Illinois, is made up of seven colleges and five satellite sites, providing more than 70,000 students each year access to a quality, affordable education.

City Colleges aims to cultivate a culture of civic engagement across the district. The Office is seeking someone who could assist with improving voter registration, coordinating non‑partisan voter education programming, and provide support for the expansion of civic engagement initiatives.

The FWS program encourages students to gain experience in their prospective fields by placing them in areas and departments aligned with their area of study whenever possible. Students can use their wages towards educational and living expenses. FWS jobs are available in areas such as academic departments, laboratories, libraries, administrative offices, student centers and several off‑campus locations.

The Money Management (M&M) Center will serve as a resource to prospective and new students.

This will help reduce the economic impact of the long‑term recession that now grips many communities across the country.
