Project Change Creating System Change through Higher Education

Project Change is a comprehensive program at the College of San Mateo organized to assist students who have been through the juvenile justice system make a successful transition to community college. This is the first community college-funded program in CA to offer in-person college instruction in the juvenile hall and direct support on campus for students once they leave the facility. It is a str

eamlined, multi-year program that connects students with college education while they are incarcerated; once students complete college programing while incarcerated, they are supported to transition to the college campus with a strong network of faculty, staff, and administrators. The program supports students for multiple years to assist them in transferring to a four-year university, obtaining a job, or completing an Associates Degree or certificate.
