The Summer Migrant Program
Is a 6-week program that has existed since 1989 as a partnership between Cabrillo College and Pajaro Valley Unified School District and runs from June through July at the Cabrillo Watsonville Center.
During the six weeks, students take an English course and a college success strategies course (CG51) and have the opportunity to visit CSU and UC campuses. The Summer Migrant Program challenges students, helps them gain confidence, provides them with knowledge about college resources, and helps them feel at home at Cabrillo College. Students will receive excellent and encouraging tutoring support from a friendly team of trained tutors.
