Destination: College is an AmeriCorps
program based on the UC Berkeley campus. The program provides
tutoring, mentoring, and college advising to Bay Area schools
in order to increase academic performance and access to college
among low income, educationally disadvantaged students. The
40+ Members of the program are UC Berkeley undergraduates, serving
approximately 12-15 hours a week with one of six partner agencies
(see useful links; for a list of partners
and to link to their web sites). In return Members receive a
monthly stipend, an education award upon program completion,
and the satisfaction of having a positive impact on young students'
lives. The program strives to create a supportive service community
for members with an emphasis on futures in education, collective
growth and problem solving, and recognizing successes.
