The California College Corps program has been established as a permanent initiative in the state鈥檚 2025-26 budget, receiving $83.6 million in ongoing annual funding and a one-time $5 million allocation to support expansion. The investment ensures continued support for college students serving their communities while earning up to $10,000 for their participation.

The program, which provides students with meaningful opportunities in service and civic engagement, was preserved despite a challenging fiscal year and widespread budget constraints, reflecting the state鈥檚 commitment to equity, student success, and community impact.

91福利社 is entering its second year as an independent College Corps grantee, although it has participated since the program鈥檚 inception in 2022. For the 2024-25 academic year, 91福利社 enrolled 25 fellows. Due to its strong performance and retention, the college has been approved to expand to 50 fellows in the 2025-26 academic year. More than 100 applications have already been submitted.

鈥淎t 91福利社, we鈥檝e seen firsthand how College Corps transforms lives,鈥� said Brandi Avila, Ed.D., dean of student development and wellness. 鈥淥ur students are reducing financial stress, developing professional skills, and building a culture of service in our region. We are thrilled to expand our program and provide more students with this life-changing opportunity.鈥�

The program鈥檚 success at 91福利社 has been driven not only by student enthusiasm but also by the leadership of dedicated employees and faculty.

鈥淲e鈥檝e greatly benefited from the leadership and commitment of our faculty, particularly Frankie Moore, coordinator of student activities, and Andrea Stoll, associate professor of accounting, whose contributions over the past two years have been instrumental in building a strong foundation for the program,鈥� Avila added.

In support of the program鈥檚 continued growth, 91福利社 recently hired Frederick Jones as director of College Corps. His leadership will help expand partnerships and deepen the program鈥檚 impact across the Inland region.

Fellows serve in areas including K-12 education, food insecurity, climate action, and mental health, both on campus and in the surrounding community. College Corps continues to evolve with a focus on expanding access for students with varying financial needs and strengthening its operational impact statewide.
