Community Partners
We value our community partners and their work with youth in Merced. You can volunteer to assist in the work they do by contacting them to ask if any help is needed. Please visit the Community Partners Page for more.
Mentoring Program Team
We are building a Black Youth mentoring program that will be housed on campus. It will be on select Saturdays (6 in fall and 5 in Spring with an overnight Yosemite trip in April). We welcome faculty and staff (to oversee one or more sessions), students (to serve as mentors or graduate coordinators), and community members as chaperones. Please visit our Signature Programs page for more on the mentoring program and contact us via email if you have any questions.
