About this file
This document is a logic model and evaluation questions for the College Corps program, which is a partnership between California Volunteers (a state agency) and 48 California Community Colleges, California State Universities, and University of California campuses. The program aims to recruit, select, and support full-time students to provide 450 hours of service in their community, providing a $7,000 stipend and $3,000 education award upon completion. The program intends to provide opportunities for academic credit, reflection, and building cultural competency, as well as logistical support. The evaluation questions focus on understanding the effectiveness of the program implementation, the equitable distribution of benefits, the extent to which the target population is reached, the services provided to communities, the benefits experienced by fellows and community organizations, and the long-term impacts on academic success, career outcomes, and civic engagement.
The document does not provide information on pricing, set-asides, incumbents, funding requirements or sources, or contract terms. It focuses solely on the program design, implementation, and evaluation.
