Make a Lasting Impact
on the Life of a Student!

California Outreach Center

Student Outreach Program

According to the California Students Aid Commission, 53% of students are housing insecure and 66% of students are food insecure; some take refuge in the only possession they own, their car, and don’t always have enough to eat. Nevertheless, recognizing higher education as the primary path to economic stability, they hold on to the hope that obtaining an education will someday pay off.
