Help Education Students Serve Communities

Right now, CSUMB College of Education students are in local classrooms teaching children to read, in clinics helping kids find their voices through speech therapy, in schools supporting students with special needs, and in community centers strengthening families. These aren't just learning experiences—they're essential services that our local schools and organizations depend on.

But transportation costs create barriers that prevent our talented students from reaching the communities that need them most. Many of our future teachers, school psychologists, speech-language pathologists, and human service professionals travel 20+ miles to their placements, facing ride share fees or gas costs, vehicle maintenance, and parking fees that add up quickly.

Your gift creates a ripple effect: One student reaches their placement → Dozens of local children and families benefit from their expertise → Our community grows stronger → A skilled professional enters the workforce ready to serve.

The students you'll meet in our videos are already making a difference. They just need help getting there.
