Who we are:

External Initiatives is a department that was created in 2020 to address the critical needs that exist outside of the college campus. The primary objectives of this department are to expand the college's reach into the surrounding counties, to provide greater access to students who would not otherwise go to college, and to foster mutually beneficial relationships with service agencies within these areas.

Area of focus:

Our team works with adults and juveniles who have been impacted by the legal system through our Rising Scholars program. This program is funded by two Rising Scholars Network grants from the California Community College Chancellor's Office (CCCCO).
