California Community College Outreach Partnership Program Overview

The California Community Colleges provide affordable and accessible programs that can drastically improve social and economic mobility for individuals and play a pivotal role in the economic recovery for our state. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a recent decline in enrollment — particularly in historically marginalized and underrepresented communities most impacted by the pandemic. The California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office is recruiting organizations to participate in a paid

Outreach Partnership Program to:

• Increase awareness and enrollment of prospective students in California’s community colleges,
  with an emphasis on reaching communities that have been most impacted by the pandemic.
• Engage influencers (i.e., parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school counselors, and
  other trusted adults) of prospective students to encourage enrollment and address frequently
  asked questions (FAQs).
• Increase knowledge of tools and resources available at www.ICanGoToCollege.com, including
  how to enroll at your local community college campus, availability of year-round financial aid,
  career education programs, and guaranteed transfer to participating four-year colleges or
  universities.
