California’s estimated 75,000 undocumented students don’t qualify for most job opportunities. A new state service program launched last week will give hundreds of them as much as $10,000 per year to perform community service.
Yusbely Delgado, a student at the University of California at Davis, told CalMatters how thankful she was for opportunities like College Corps. Delgado has wanted to be a pediatrician since high school, but during her sophomore year, she said, her father told her she might not be able to because of her immigration status. Delgado persisted, taking advanced placement classes and applying for DACA.
“It was basically the wild wild west, where everybody was sort of on their own,” he said. “Even though many people were going through the same thing, there just wasn’t enough unification across the institutions and in the state.” College Corps was intentional about working with trusted messengers to reach the undocumented community, said Fryday.
