A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:

On January 18, 2022 California State University, Dominguez Hills was named one of 45 California colleges and universities chosen to take part “Californians for All” College Corps, the largest state-level investment in a college service program in California history. In total, 16 CSU campuses were included in the historic $146 million investment in California’s future leaders.

The new service-based college opportunity program provides up to 6,500 college students statewide with opportunities to serve in three key areas: K-12 education, climate action, food insecurity, and COVID-19 recovery. In exchange for 450 hours of service during an academic year, each College Corps Fellow will receive $10,000 to help fund their education.

At CSUDH, there are College Corps fellows working specifically on a variety of project sites in support of climate action, food insecurity, including directly for the Office of Sustainability. This represents a unique student workforce engaging in the local and campus community on sustainability initiatives.
