An unidentified meeting commenter said California is recruiting 10,000 paid volunteers for the California Service Corps to provide community service, hands-on experience and support on urgent state needs, including disaster response, climate efforts, addressing food insecurity and tutoring students.

The comment, delivered in Spanish during the meeting’s public-comment segment, said the volunteers would be paid through the California Service Corps and directed interested people to "CA Service Corps punto com" to complete an application. The commenter did not specify a recruitment timeline, funding sources or which state office is operating the program.

The California Service Corps is described in the comment as a state-level volunteer program that places paid members in community-facing roles to respond to wildfires and other disasters, support climate-related projects, assist with food distribution and provide tutoring for disadvantaged students. The meeting record does not indicate any follow-up action by the governing body, nor does it record any staff presentation or formal vote on the announcement.

The announcement’s principal facts available from the comment are the target number of volunteers (10,000), the program name (California Service Corps) and the application instruction given verbally. Details commonly requested by prospective applicants — including start dates, pay rates, eligibility criteria and the program’s funding sources or supervising agency — were not provided in the comment and are listed as not specified in this report.

For those seeking more information, the commenter instructed listeners to visit the CA Service Corps website; the meeting record provides that web reference only in the form spoken during the comment and does not include a written URL or additional documentation.
