California Mini-Corps History

The California Mini-Corps Program was initiated in 1967, patterned after the Peace Corps Program. A corps of college students with a rural migrant background was recruited to work as a teacher assistants in migrant impacted summer schools. The Mini-Corps students were role models that hopefully would raise the aspirations of migrant students. A sense of commitment, dedication, responsibility and sensitivity was required of the Mini-Corps participants. The Mini-Corps students would be personally acquainted with their students and make home visitations to the homes of migrant parents. The program was only a summer program until 1974 when the school year programs were initiated throughout the state. The Mini-Corps Program provides services to all the migrant regions in the summer and school year.

The CSUB Program began in 1974 and it has provided services to the migrant children in Kern County. The first school year component was established at CSUB.
