Commonwealth Corps
The 3PointFoundation After School and In School
Programming Commonwealth Corps Site Coordinator
The mission of the Commonwealth Corps service internship program is to engage Massachusetts residents of all ages, backgrounds, and identities in direct service to strengthen communities, address critical needs, and increase volunteerism. Through hands-on experience, Commonwealth Corps members gain professional skills and valuable knowledge while positively impacting diverse communities in our state.
The Massachusetts Service Alliance (MSA) is a private, nonprofit agency that oversees the program and supports host site partners and members to find success throughout the program year. The three Commonwealth Corps members with The 3Point Foundation will serve 10 months in a half-time capacity. They will join a diverse corps of members across Massachusetts who share a common desire to explore their passions and expand their network in service to their communities and the Commonwealth. The 2026-2027 program year will support 8 unique host sites and 17 CC members with the opportunity to share, support, and collaborate with the group.
Commonwealth Corps members with 3Point serve as Site Coordinators, helping create positive, inclusive, and engaging learning environments for students in grades 4–8 through school-based and out-of-school programs. Members support instructors and school staff by reinforcing academic learning, promoting social-emotional development, and ensuring safe, structured classrooms through small-group support, activity facilitation, and student supervision. In addition to direct service, members contribute to two key capacity-building initiatives: scaling the Assist Zone—an in-school academic and personal support program focused on 21st-century skills, wellness, and student success—and leading a strategic research effort to design a high school expansion model that maximizes long-term impact for youth in underserved Boston communities.
