Student says College Corps kept her enrolled and boosted GPA

Skye Sabrel, a student at Coptic College and a participant in the College Corps program, told meeting attendees during the public comment period that College Corps "changed my life" and helped her stay in college.
"Because of College Corps, I am now a psychology and sociology major with a 3.8 GPA," Sabrel said. She added that she had nearly dropped out for financial reasons before joining the program.
Sabrel described College Corps as both a financial support and a way to engage with her community. "Now because of CollegeCorps, I not only get to give back, but I earn money while I give back and I'm getting to know my community," she said. "I really appreciate CollegeCorps from the bottom of my heart."
