Note: This opportunity is only available for those attending CSU Monterey Bay during the 2026-2027 academic year.

College Corps Fellows gain hands-on experience while addressing important community needs, including food insecurity, environmental stewardship, health equity and K-12 education. Fellows work alongside community mentors, educators and nonprofit leaders to strengthen their leadership skills and create lasting impact across the region.

Depending on a student’s financial aid package, Fellows may qualify for up to $10,000 through a living allowance and education award.
