As the program director, Veronica Guzman said it’s critical to find student fellows who are passionate about serving their communities.
The pre-college programs at CSUSB are designed to provide participants and their families with educational and personal support services that will increase high school graduation, college enrollment and college completion.
As a College Corps fellow, PDC student Juliana Garcia volunteers at Big Brothers and Big Sisters of the Desert while earning a financial benefit to help pay for her college education.
In the last 10 years, CSUSB has grown from having two pre-college programs serving 100 students per year, across six high schools, to now housing programs serving more than 10,000 students per year, across 16 school districts in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties.
College Corps is a statewide paid service program which provides meaningful work to underserved college students, helping them graduate on time and with less debt while benefiting the local community.
