Apply for Sacramento Valley College Corps

Consider applying to be part of the Sacramento Valley College Corps! Deadline to apply is April 10.

Sacramento City College along with UC Davis, Sacramento State University, and Woodland Community College form the regional Sacramento Valley College Corps (SVCC).

One of the main goals of the program is to break down the barriers that can prevent low-income and undocumented students from participating in paid field placements and community-based internships. It aims to include about 230 AB 540-eligible undocumented students among the 1,000 interns and is planning specific efforts to reach low-income and undocumented students. The Sacramento Valley interns will provide support to address the three focus areas of the College Corps program: K-12 education, including COVID-related learning loss; climate action; and food insecurity. Specific placements will be co-designed with the community partners and schools.

There is a virtual info session at 12 p.m. today, March 10, on Zoom.
