COC Helps Homeless Students RISE
College of the Canyons (COC) serves the Santa Clarita Valley as a vital, enduring, cultural, educational and economic force in the region. The COC Foundation generates philanthropic support for the college, allowing COC to perform beyond the achievement level that tax dollars alone can support and to strive for the highest levels of excellence in teaching, scholarship, vocational training and innovation. One of the Foundation's initiatives this year is RISE - Resources for Individual Success in Education - that strives to help students battling with homelessness. At its core, the program exists to improve access to higher education for current and former foster students and homeless youth; increase retention, graduation and transfer rates and promote student learning and development. At COC, approximately 200 students have self-identified themselves as struggling in this way. A $175 contribution outfits a homeless student with a "Campus Survival Kit" complete with basic personal care items, college school supplies, gift cards and snacks for food insecurity, transportation support and information to access services at the college and regionally. It's a tangible way to support and help students coping with an emerging personal crisis.
