Student Belonging, Engagement, and Well-Being
The Student Belonging, Engagement, and Well-Being was a project that encompassed four different programs, each contributing to the belonging, engagement, and well-being of specific populations at PCC. Smaller, funded objectives for parts of this project have been completed, and the below programs will continue to operate and grow. The programs involved were:
- Outreach and Advocacy Project (OAP):
- The Outreach & Advocacy Project provides advocacy, information, and resources related to relationship/dating violence, sexual violence, stalking, and sexual harassment.
- The PCC CLEAR Clinic:
- The PCC CLEAR Clinic is a free legal clinic at the college that provides legal services aimed at reducing barriers to success in college and the workforce, and increasing well-being. With this assistance, PCC community members are able to reduce barriers to employment, housing, education, and well-being. We are dedicated to increasing access to justice and addressing the lasting impact of disproportionate law enforcement on people of color and low-income communities.
- Men of Color Leadership Program (MoCLP):
