COVID-19 Info#CaliforniansforAll College Corps at Pasadena City College
#CaliforniansForAll College Corps, part of the California Service Corps, offers students
an
incredible opportunity to combine their academic journey with meaningful, hands-on
experience. Participants gain valuable skills for their future careers, receive up
to $10,000
in financial support for school, and make a lasting impact in their local communities.
Through College Corps, thousands of students across California are tackling critical
issues like climate, food insecurity, and learning loss by tutoring, mentoring, and
supporting local food banks.
In 2026-27 the fellowship will continue to support regional fire recovery efforts
while
empowering students through meaningful, community-centered service. 35 PCC students
will be selected to participate and will complete 8-month paid fellowships with over
15
local community partners. Through this experience, fellows will help rebuild and
strengthen local communities while developing transformative leadership and career
skills.
