A new state-funded program aims to engage California’s undergraduate students in service in their communities while offsetting some financial costs.

Undergraduates from 48 participating community colleges and universities will be able to apply for the state’s #CaliforniansForAll College Corps. In turn for 450 hours of service during an academic year, students will be given a $7,000 stipend and a $3,000 Education Award. Participating universities close to Richmond include the UC Berkeley, CSU East Bay and San Francisco State University. Students apply through their schools, and each deadline to apply is set by the individual university, with some having already passed. Read more at Richmond Pulse.
