California is offering cash to students and community groups to spread the word about a $2,500 grant for students who lost jobs because of COVID-19.
California will soon require Medi-Cal recipients to prove their eligibility again. But it has a safety net for people who lose their coverage.The Foundation for California Community Colleges already enlists students to help spread the word about financial aid, CalFresh and other support services. Now it’s looking for ambassadors to promote the $2,500 training grants among their peers and in their communities, in the hope of doling out more funds.
According to the commission, student ambassadors must be at least 18 years old and enrolled in at least one unit in both the spring and fall semesters at a state community college, California State University or University of California campus. If accepted, they will be trained on the grant program, its eligibility requirements and the application process. They’ll also be given wireless devices to help the students they recruit fill out applications.
These ambassadors will do outreach from May through September, devoting 10 to 12 hours a month and earning a $1,000 stipend. Those who continue on through the fall and spring semesters will earn an additional $2,000.that asks a number of questions related to your ability to recruit grant applicants, including what “techniques and strategies” you’d use and what relevant work or volunteer experiences you’ve had.
The foundation encourages interested students to apply by April 28, with ambassadors selected in early May. For more information, send an email to
