California is building the next generation of civic leaders. By engaging college students in meaningful community service, young leaders will help solve problems in their community, learn key skills to advance career pathways, and earn a scholarship to help pay for schools.
In California, climate change is a threat to systems and people across the state. Climate change is an existential crisis. Each of us has a role to play. You can take meaningful action today to help communities across our state.
The #CaliforniansForAll Youth Jobs Corps will provide thousands of meaningful jobs to California’s underserved youth, while helping them learn valuable job skills, develop public service career pathways, and engage with their communities.
We’re harnessing the power of our greatest asset — the 40 million people who call California home. We need your help to tackle COVID-19, natural disasters, climate change, poverty, homelessness and other issues we may face in California.

What is California Volunteers?
Led by the state’s Chief Service Officer, Josh Fryday, California Volunteers is the state office tasked with engaging Californians in service, volunteering and civic action to tackle our State’s most pressing challenges while mobilizing all Californians to volunteer and serve in their communities. The #CaliforniansForAll service initiative was launched in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to build on the efforts of California Volunteers to establish a statewide volunteer corps to help with the state’s response to emergencies and disasters. California Volunteers also administers the AmeriCorps programs in California with over 80 programs providing critical services to more than 160,000 Californians annually.
