This past year, South County Cal-SOAP, in collaboration with Gavilan College, TRIO, Extended Opportunity Program & Services ( EOPS), the University of California- Santa Cruz, and 21st Century Program within Gilroy Unified School District was able to offer three summer program opportunities to students from the south county region. These programs varied from an after school academic support three-week course to a two-week residential summer academy at UC Santa Cruz. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of these programs was that each one was offered by South County Cal-SOAP at no cost to student or their families.
