Summary
$85,000 salaries and benefits will go to 1,000 early-career professionals in Anthropic's 12-month Claude Corps program, which places them at U.S. nonprofits; the current application deadline is July 17.
$150 million backs the effort, which Anthropic says is meant to spread AI's benefits more broadly while helping workers build practical Claude skills as AI reshapes entry-level employment.
100 fellows will start in October, with two more cohorts planned for January and August 2027; applicants must be 18 or older, have no more than two years of full-time experience, and be authorized to work in the U.S.
YMCA, Goodwill Industries and smaller local groups are among host organizations, while Anthropic and CodePath will provide Claude training, mentoring, technical support and token budgets.
The program stands out because it directly funds AI-linked jobs at nonprofits, unlike many industry initiatives that have focused more on research or broad economic pledges.
