SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif.- A kickoff event for the California College Corps Program was held at Cal Poly on Thursday.

Some of the community service projects include K-12 education, climate action and food insecurity.

Students need to meet financial and other requirements to qualify for the program.

Students who are interested can apply now on the California College Corps website. This new program will begin in the fall semester.
