What is the Sacramento Valley College Corps?
UC Davis is proud to be among the 45 campuses selected for the inaugural #CaliforniansForAll College Corps program. UC Davis, along with Sacramento State, Sacramento City College and Woodland Community College, form the regional Sacramento Valley College Corps, or SVCC. A key element of this program is YOU: local community-based organizations and government agencies who host student fellows during the academic year.
Funded by California Volunteers, Office of the Governor, the #CaliforniansForAll College Corps initiative has three goals:
- Engage college students in meaningful service to build leadership and civic responsibility;
- Promote academic success and economic well being with students from diverse backgrounds; and
- To support the work of community-based organizations in three priorities: K-12 education, climate action, and food insecurity.
How to Partner with the Sacramento Valley College Corps
We invite organizations that focus on K-12 education, food insecurity, and climate action to apply to be a host site for the 2023–2024 academic year. Eligibility and examples of activities for each priority area are listed below.
To learn more about becoming a host site partner, register to attend an information session. Our returning host sites may apply online without attending an information session.
As a community host site, you will ensure fellows meet service requirements while learning practical skills and interacting directly with your programs’ beneficiaries. Host sites will be assigned fellows from UC Davis, Sacramento City College, Woodland Community College or Sacramento State. Fellows must complete 375 hours of direct service with their assigned organization (roughly 13 hours per week).
Fellows will begin their service in September 2023 and complete their service year on or around May 2024. Each fellow will receive a living allowance of $7,000 and an education award at the end of the service year, paid for by the Sacramento Valley College Corps grant. Please visit our student application page for more information about the fellows.
