VENTURA — Allan Hancock College is encouraging students who want to serve their communities and earn money to pay for college to apply for the California College Corps program.
The college is accepting applications for the second student cohort for the statewide program, which allows participating students to earn a living stipend and money for college in exchange for volunteering with area nonprofit organizations. This is Hancock’s third year participating in the program.
Students who are accepted into the program as College Corps “fellows” will work with K-12 schools, food banks or climate action organizations to build healthier and more equitable communities across California. In exchange, they can receive up to $10,000, including a living stipend throughout the service term and an Education Award upon completion of 450 service hours. The program also provides students with valuable job experience and skills, as well as access to training, networking, and professional development opportunities.
“It’s been an amazing experience. College Corps has been a great way for me to get work experience by doing something I love; giving back to my community,” said Yaquilina Aguirre, a Hancock student now in her second year as a College Corps fellow. “It also is a great opportunity to ease the financial burden and help me with the cost of college.”
The College Corps program is open to full-time Hancock students who are in good academic standing. AB 540 CA Dream Act students are also eligible.
