鈥淭he program changed my life in many ways,鈥� said RJ Rossi 鈥�24. 鈥淐ollege Corps was the first opportunity I had to serve people in need. There are so many positive facets that I jumped at the chance to make an impact on people鈥檚 lives.

鈥淥f course, the money we receive is vital. Simply put, I would not have been able to attend school this year if I did not have the College Corps funding.鈥�

Director Francine Redada said the program is rigorous but has been embraced by the fellows.

鈥淲e pride ourselves on having a very close-knit group. The students are dedicated to the program and to one another,鈥� Redada said. 鈥淔or students who stay in the program for multiple years, you can see and appreciate the growth they experience.鈥�

College Corps has three areas of emphasis: K-12 education, climate change and food insecurity. Fellows are embedded in schools and agencies with needs in those areas.

St. Mary鈥檚 Dining Room in Stockton has three College Corps fellows from 91成人导航. They were joined by others in planning a recent volunteer appreciation brunch.

鈥淭hey did everything from creating the menu to the set-up to actually running the event,鈥� said Karen Gonzales, volunteer coordinator. 鈥淭hey also are on our campus providing service to our guests in the kitchen or working in the women鈥檚 hygiene department. It is rewarding to see students who are so willing to be out in the community providing service.鈥�

Redada is joined in College Corps leadership by Dari Tran, professor of political science, and program manager Marylou Bagus-Hansen.
