Working with the state Chancellor’s Office and affected colleges, the Foundation for California Community Colleges has linked to local college giving opportunities and created a statewide relief fund that can be accessed at https://foundationccc.org/What-We-Do/System-Support-and-Services/California-Wildfire-Relief.
“The past few days have brought incredible pain and tragedy to our state, and several of our colleges have been severely impacted,” Epstein said. “The devastation and loss of life is heart sickening and affect many students, faculty and staff. We are grateful to the first responders who are working to protect lives and property.”
In Northern California, more than 130 Butte College faculty and staff have been displaced, many of them lived in Paradise and their homes are presumed lost. Firefighters successfully defended the college from flames late last week.
Southern California fires also continue to burn, and have affected several community colleges. Pierce College continues to serve as a major evacuation center. The fires came just hours after a mass shooting in Thousand Oaks. Among the 12 people killed were Moorpark College student Noel Sparks, 21, and Ventura College student Blake Dingman, also 21. Former Moorpark College student, Telemachus Orfanos, 27, and former Santa Barbara City College student Mark Meza Jr., 20, were also slain.
“The Chancellor’s Office will support our colleges in every way possible as they recover from these tragedies,” Oakley said. “It is heartening to see Californians from all over the state pull together and help these communities. Community colleges are centers of hope and strength.”
The California Community Colleges is the largest system of higher education in the nation, composed of 73 districts and 115 colleges serving 2.1 million students per year.

A new chapter of the NBCC will take place in Lake County in Kelseyville.
Launched in 2017, the NBCC is a partnership of the North Coast Builders Exchange, the Career Technical Foundation Sonoma County, the Sonoma County Office of Education and Santa Rosa Junior College designed to address the growing need for new construction workers.
Construction Corps members meet once a week for two hours and one Saturday a month for five hours over a 14-week period from late January through mid-May.
Basic construction skills are taught by local contractors and other construction professionals and safety is emphasized at every meeting.
Students earn industry-recognized certifications such as CPR/first aid, forklift and boom lift certification, personal protective equipment, ladder safety and more.
Successful Corps members are invited to attend a two-week boot camp in June where students work full-time on a real construction project.
Graduates who complete the NBCC program are prepared to work in an entry-level position where they can be trained further by the company that hires them.
Successful students earn three college credits for work experience from their local community college that are transferable to a California State University. They also receive a $750 stipend for their boot camp work and a letter of recommendation.
An interview event is held on the last day of boot camp and construction industry participants have the opportunity to highlight the benefits of working for their organization to these potential employees.
In its third year, NBCC is expanding. The program’s goal this year is to graduate 125 students or more in a five-county region including Sonoma, Mendocino, Lake, Napa and Marin.
Students or building industry professionals interested in getting involved in the Construction Corps should visit the NBCC Web site for more information and a student application: www.constructioncorps.org.
