Corps to career: launched as a pilot program in los angeles in 2022, the corps to career program supports california volunteers service program alumni in finding post-service careers that offer competitive salaries and benefits. This model builds networks, soft skills and career development, and employee partnerships.

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.

The california volunteers fund continued to support the californiansforall program, providing additional resources for a program that encourages engagement with californians around service, volunteerism, and individual action.

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.
