<p>Dear Ohio University Staff, </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Do you currently have students who are looking for meaningful opportunities after graduation?
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Do they want to stay close to Athens and give back to the community?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Advise them to look into COMCorps, an AmeriCorps program housed in OHIO’s Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. COMCorps members serve approximately 38 hours each week in Athens or Washington County, serving at schools, local nonprofits and government
agencies. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In return for 1,700 hours of service, members receive a $13,732 living allowance, a $5,920 education award that can be used for past federal loan debt or future educational expenses, and life-changing experiences.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>During their year of service, members GIVE their talents, GROW themselves and SERVE the region TOGETHER as part of a 24-member corps.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>COMCorps makes for a great gap year, a way to gain professional experience or a safe place for those graduating who aren’t sure about their next step.
