CALIFORNIA VOLUNTEERS FUND

College corps: launched in 2022, the #californiansforall college corps engages college students in critical service activities around education and mentorship, food insecurity, and climate action. Funding was allocated to support the new program, with funds leveraged for supplies, materials, workshops, convenings, logistics/preparation needed.

California volunteers fund is leading a planning effort to launch a california youth mental health corps. The california volunteers fund is working through a planning grant to build a program model that: seeks to tackle the workforce shortages in youth mental health, engages service members in meaningful service that builds pathways for employment in the youth mental health workforce, and leverages state, federal, and philanthropic resources and infrastructure to build a sustainable program.
