#CaliforniansForAll College Corps at UCLA

#CaliforniansForAll College Corps will help create debt-free pathways to college while engaging students across the state in solving problems in their communities.​

What We Do

This first-of-its-kind initiative was launched in partnership with California colleges and universities. Over the next four years these partner campuses will deploy more than 10,000 College Corps Fellows to tackle statewide challenges, and for the first time, we are proud to include AB 540 CA Dream Act Students in a state-funded service program.

CollegeCorps at UCLA is supported by Federal AmeriCorps funds and the generosity of the state of California and the California Volunteers Office.

Ready to take your College Corps experience to the next level? 🌟💙

Leadership opportunities are now available for returning Fellows! Whether you're passionate about building community, mentoring your peers, or sharing your story, becoming a Student Ambassador and/or Cohort Peer Engagement Leader (CPEL) is your chance to make an even greater impact.

Student Ambassadors represent UCLA College Corps by leading workshops and activities, fostering peer connections, and sharing their College Corps journey through storytelling and media opportunities. They serve as a bridge between Fellows, campus staff, and California Volunteers while helping strengthen our community.

🤝 Cohort Peer Engagement Leaders (CPELs) help create an engaging and welcoming cohort experience by leading community-building activities, encouraging peer connection, and supporting Fellows throughout the program.

These leadership roles are an opportunity to strengthen your communication, facilitation, and leadership skills while leaving a lasting impact on your campus and fellow Bruins.

Are you ready to lead, inspire, and give back to the College Corps community? We encourage all eligible returning Fellows to apply!
