Californians For All - College Corps

California State University, Long Beach is proud to be among the selected 45 campuses statewide for the inaugural #CaliforniansForAll College Corps.

This initiative is the first of its kind in the state of California and will provide opportunities for college students to tackle state-wide challenges and support and learn from community organizations working in key priority areas. The focus of the program is to:

  1. Engage college students in meaningful internship opportunities that build leadership skills, civic responsibility, and self-confidence;
  2. Help low-income students from diverse backgrounds graduate college with less debt;
  3. Support the work of community-based organizations as they build more equitable communities and address societal challenges related to climate change and environmental justice, food insecurity and K-12 education.
