4. STUDENT COACHING PARTNER PROGRAMDoes your organization currently refer clients to community colleges? Our coaching program enables City Vision to serve as an alternative to community college while providing a revenue stream to your ministry. Approved coaches/organizations get $2,000 per year per student they coach as students take City Vision courses online. We do this because we have found that online education can work much more effectively if there is a local coach to provide mentoring, accountability, and basic case management services.

HOW IT WORKS1. Apply to become an approved student coach with City

Vision.2. If approved, you sign a Coaching Partner Memorandum

of Understanding.3. Full-time Pell-grant students receive a $1,500

scholarship, so their tuition is $5,500. Full-time students receiving a full Pell grant of $5,815 will get the remainder after tuition ($315) paid back to them as they complete courses. Note: students in mentoring programs do not qualify for other discounts beyond this.

4. You get paid $2,000/year (or $400/term) per full-time student that you coach.

A CHRISTIAN COUNTERPART TO AMERICORPSCity Vision Internships is a Christian counterpart to AmeriCorps that provides one year full time interns to ministries. In the past 10 years, we have placed over 500 full-time interns & 80,000 volunteers. We currently have 70+ ministry internship sites.

HOW IT WORKS1. City Vision University provides a full tuition

scholarship and/or helps recruit interns for your site.2. After signing an agreement, your ministry interviews

either the 500+ intern applicants we recruit annually or their own candidates.

3. Intern signs contract with ministry to serve 29-40 hours per week for one year at your ministry (like AmeriCorps or Peace Corps but without government restrictions on faith activities).

INTERN PLACEMENT FEESMinistries pay a placement fee of $2,000 to $5,000 yearly for each intern placed, typically in five equal installments. Fees vary depending on the internship programs in which the ministry chooses to participate.
