The Caminos Project was developed to take advantage of the large scale of CSULB’s teacher preparation programs, and its institutional links to undergraduate subject matter preparation programs, to expand the number of Latinx teachers in elementary and secondary public schools. The HSI Caminos Project is a grant-funded initiative that works in collaboration with the College of Education and the Department of Chicano Latino Studies. The grant aims to encourage Latinx students to join the teaching profession and to prepare effective, well-prepared, and culturally adaptive educators

Interested in getting involved on the campus, but not specific to the College of Education? No problem! There are many, many different student organizations at CSULB that can fit in a variety of interests and categories ranging from cultural or religious interests to political or professional development, etc.
