Program Description
The Magnolia Project consists of three distinct initiatives: a 3-week summer service trip; an 8-week summer internship program; and a semester-long exchange program with the University of New Orleans.
Since the storm and flood in August 2005 Cal Corps has explored ways to work in solidarity with the people of New Orleans by support rebuilding efforts there and across the Gulf Coast. Survivors continue to struggle to reclaim their homes and lives even though their plight is not in the public eye. The Center seeks to partner with community-based organization providing services to or working for justice with the people of the Gulf Coast.
The Gulf Coast Initiative is generously supported by the Office of the Vice-Chancellor, Campus Life and Leadership, ASUC, and alumni, staff and faculty donors.
Requirements
Varies by initiative. See links above.
