NYC is a high cost region and corps members will incur out of pocket expenses before receiving a paycheck. Below is a snapshot of the costs associated with transitioning to the New York corps .If you need financial assistance to help cover the costs of transitioning to the corps, you should apply for transitional funding (see sections below). Please review the timeline and reach out to MoMo at newyorkregion@teachforamerica.org if you have any questions.
Please note: Timeline of costs are subject to change due to the evolving changes as a result of the pandemic. Updates will be shared by the Program Operations team via your bi-weekly digest.
We highly encourage you to move to NYC prior to Week 1 of full-time virtual Pre-service Training (Monday, June 8).
We heard feedback from corps members last year that although June 8 - June 12 is virtual, it was difficult to focus on the intense learning of Pre-service while also planning and preparing to move during that time.
For those who can, we suggest you move in and settle prior to June 8 so you can fully focus on the learning. We understand that not everyone will be able to do this.
The latest possible date you should move is Sunday, June 25 so you can be prepared for in-person/hybrid sessions that start the week of Monday, June 26 and continue through July.
