Position Summary/Purpose: Grand Canyon University (GCU) maintains relationships with nonprofit organizations identified by the IRS as 501(c)(3) by virtue of their charitable programs. The collective mission of 501(c)(3) organizations in the Phoenix Valley is to improve the quality of life for community residents or to solve particular problems related to those residents’ needs.

GCU maintains a partnership with Angels on Patrol located in Downtown Phoenix (near 7th Street and McDowell Road). Through officer-initiated requests, Angels on Patrol moves families from crisis to stability by securing safety, providing emergent basic needs, and connecting individuals in need to community resources. The CSLP student worker’s work schedule is dependent on the hours of operations and needs of Angels on Patrol; however, CSLP student workers may not work more than 20 hours per week during the academic year (i.e., fall/spring). If eligible, CSLP student workers can work during summer (i.e., May – August).

Per 34 CFR 675.2(b), community services are defined as, “Services which are designed to improve the quality of life for community residents, particularly low-income individuals, or to solve particular problems related to their need.” These services must be open and accessible to the community.
