Center for Community College Partnerships offers UCLA students the opportunity to network with prospective transfer students. CCCP is dedicated to making UCLA a place of community and understanding for students coming from underrepresented backgrounds.
Volunteering allows for UCLA students to give back and support community college students and the communities in which they come from. In addition, it provides an opportunity for those CCCP Scholars that have been admitted and enrolled at UCLA to complete the required 20 volunteer hours per year. CCCP creates a setting in which volunteers and students can grow together and learn from one another. In addition, Volunteer opportunities vary from our Saturday Academies where hundreds of students attend, Buddy Days where students shadow UCLA students, campus tours and visits or transfer workshops held throughout the year. Please join our CCCP Volunteer List to be notified of upcoming volunteer opportunities.
