The funds are earmarked for SDCCE's Gateway to College and Career program, which"offers paid internships, connections to industry, assistance in securing a high school diploma or equivalency, and a college and career readiness course aimed at helping youth find viable pathways to a productive future," according to the college.
The program is receiving a $1 million award from the U.S. Department of Labor Community Project Funding -- recommended by Rep. Scott Peters, D-San Diego. Additionally, SDCCE will receive a collaborative grant of $1.75 million this spring to connect San Diego-based nonprofit Promises2Kids' Guardian Scholars program with Gateway to College and Career.
Alfredo Chavez Barrios is a Gateway to College and Career alumnus who now serves as a tutor with the program.
