2027 Claude Corps

Summary

Claude Corps is a partnership between CodePath and Anthropic that places early-career fellows in nonprofits, government agencies, and public-interest organizations for a year. The Fellow will discover and scope organizational needs, build solutions with Claude, train staff, and ensure projects are successfully handed off to host organizations.

Responsibilities

• **Discover and scope.** Spend real time understanding what your host organization actually needs. Pull usage data, talk to the people doing the work, and define projects in sprints with clear outcomes
• **Build with Claude.** Ship working solutions — agents, automations, internal tools, evaluation harnesses, integrations — that make a process faster, cheaper, or possible for the first time. Some of this will be ambitious; some will be as simple as building a dashboard
• **Enable the organization.** Run training for mixed technical and non-technical audiences. Turn three or four colleagues into the people others go to with AI questions. Your job isn't done when the tool works — it's done when someone else can own it
• **Hand off well.** Sit with the person who'll own your work after you leave. Watch them break it. Write the runbook. Make sure it survives you
• **Exercise judgment.** Catch your own wrong answers. Tell a stakeholder "we shouldn't build that" when it's true. Cut the part of the demo that isn't landing

Skills

• Completion of AI Fluency and Claude 101
• You have built something. A website, app, or script others used; an automation, bot, or workflow that saved someone time; a dashboard or tracker; a project built with Claude or another AI model; a training or how-to guide with a technical component; or something else you built end-to-end. It does not need to be big, polished, or from a job
• Demonstrated experience in community, nonprofit, or public-interest work. This could be working, interning, or volunteering at a nonprofit, public sector, or community-serving organization; completing a service program (AmeriCorps, City Year, Peace Corps, Teach For America, etc.); community organizing, mutual aid, or advocacy work; or founding or leading a student or community service organization
• Can talk honestly about something you built and shipped — what you scoped, what worked, and what you'd do differently
• Can say why social-impact work pulls you, and what you learned from the time you've spent in or around nonprofits, public service, education, public health, workforce, civic tech, or community organizations
• Can explain something technical to a non-technical room and read whether it's landing — whether that's teaching, mentoring, or running a workshop
• Take initiative without someone tracking you, and stay coachable while doing it
• Are energized — not deflated — by ambiguity, resource constraints, and problems that turn out to be different than advertised
• Are 18 or older, authorized to work in the United States (we are not able to sponsor visas for this program)
• Have hands-on time with agent frameworks, evals, or production LLM deployments — not required, but it helps
