Description
Cal Lutheran is one of eight universities which were selected to join a first in the nation program to help students pay for college through public service targeting challenges in their region. As a program under the Sarah W. Heath Center for Equality and Justice, AmeriCorps Fellows will have the opportunity to make an impact in their communities through valuable hands-on experiences. With contributions from AmeriCorps and California Volunteers, this program has received $340,000 in funding to support these efforts.
