Caminos de la Ciudad

Grant Goals

This grant will help the college build capacity for and implement the third and fourth pillars of Guided Pathways:

• Help students stay on their path
• Ensure that learning is happening with intentional outcomes

SCC’s overarching goal with this grant is to resume where its Guided Pathways project ended and to provide an additional clear pathway for students, particularly those who are Latinx and/or low-income, to succeed in their community college classes and on to transfer or meaningful work. The college’s focus on the next steps of Guided Pathways is grounded in the institutional goal to provide SCC students with a place to learn, grow, belong, and find and pursue their academic, career, and life paths. Caminos de la Ciudad will allow SCC to expand that commitment to ensure that students can find their path and remain on it successfully as they move toward graduation, transfer, and/or career achievement.
