🏡 Building Homes, Fostering Innovation, & Connecting Communities: Continuing our Community Partner Narrative series ✨

Linc Housing has been building affordable, service-enriched housing for unhoused and underserved families across California for the past 40 years! LINC isn’t just providing a roof over people’s heads but has also created a collaborative relationship with CSULB student interns 🧑‍🎓 as they bring a brand new perspective to design, launch, and run original workshops that can directly help the local residents. 🏘️

Maria Garcia, a College Corps recent graduate, turned her passion for baking into a weekly baking workshop. The baking class was a huge success, attracting residents who had never attended previous community events.

Maria’s time at LINC completely changed how she viewed professional networking, learning how to build authentic relationships with people and the community who can rely on one another. After graduating, Maria has now become a staff member for LINC Housing! Congratulations! 🥳🎓

Service Learning students in Dr. Tina Chanthapan’s JOUR 471: Public Relations (PR), Management & Campaigns (Spring 2026) partnered with City Fabrick to gain hands on experience creating and pitching campaigns by forming PR firms. Each team conducted in-depth research while collaborating with City Fabrick staff, Baktaash & Cassidy, to align with organizational goals and create a strategic, research-driven campaign to enhance visibility and community impact. Equipped with printed material mock ups, stickers, posters, and proposal booklets, they pitched each campaign where “Emerald Agency” was selected by City Fabrick for implementation and alignment.

Our 2025-2026 Student Assistants are an integral part of the CCE.
