UC Berkeley Destination College Advising Corps / Early Academic Outreach Program

Destination College Advising Corps increases college access for low-income, first-generation and underrepresented high school students by placing highly-trained, recent college graduates in schools as full-time College Adviser Fellows. In 2007, UC Berkeley’s Center for Educational Partnerships (CEP) launched the Destination College Advising Corps as one of the ten founding chapters of the newly established National Advising Corps. With the seed funding from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, DCAC placed two Advisers in two Solano County high schools. The following year DCAC added a third high school site in Solano County and expanded the program to San Bernardino County to three new high schools. Today, DCAC has 59 full-time College Adviser Fellows in four counties throughout California (Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, and San Francisco).
