Last October, the governor of California, Gavin Newsom<\/a>, swore in the first class of the university's #CaliforniansForAll Scholars, comprised of more than 3,200 students who have committed to serving communities across the state while earning money to pay for college.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Joined by Chief Services Officer Josh Fryday and higher education leaders, Governor Newsom said, \u201c#CaliforniansForAll demonstrates that you don\u2019t have to be something to do something.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cLeadership can be found anywhere, and this program creates a new pathway for students of all backgrounds to make a real impact in our communities while earning money for college. I am honored and proud to join these young leaders today and look forward to what they will accomplish on this journey,\u201d Newsom said.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This first-of-its-kind initiative gives college students from 46 California colleges and universities the opportunity to earn $10,000 for committing to a year of service focused on three key issue areas for the state: K-12 education, climate action, and food insecurity.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cIn California, if you are willing to serve your community and give back in a meaningful way, we will help you pay for college. This is a win-win \u2013 helping pay for college, gaining valuable work experience, and making a meaningful impact on the community,\u201d said Josh Fryday, California\u2019s director of services.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In this first cohort, more than two-thirds of the grantees are Pell-eligible and 64 percent are first-generation college students. AB 540 CA Dream Act students are also eligible for college support through this program.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Approximately 13,000 students over the next four years will participate in one year of service, equivalent to six million hours.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

College Corps Fellows will be placed in more than 600 community-based partner organizations across the state, with those focused on K-12 tutoring or mentoring public school students directly in the classrooms of school districts across the state, while others will support after-school programs run by nonprofit organizations.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Fellows addressing food insecurity will be placed at numerous food banks, as well as staff food pantries on their own college campus; while fellows focused on climate action will plant trees, assist with wildfire mitigation work, and support a variety of environmental education and community outreach efforts.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The #CaliforniansForAll University Corps is funded primarily through the California Comeback Plan and will support 3,250 students in the first year of this program.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
