TIPS
• Do not call it Claude Core in your application. The official program name is Claude Corps.
• You do not need to be an AI expert. You do need to show good judgment with AI tools.
• If you are over the two-year full-time experience limit, read the FAQ carefully before applying.
• If you know someone early in their career who cares about nonprofit or public-interest work, send them the link.
