  • We are a campus hub for our Student Equity & Achievement programs and centers.
  • We proudly join the effort to shift the culture and paradigm at El Camino College, to provide an equity lens and a greater appreciation of people for people.

All communities and identities interested in social justice are welcome.

We aim to erase stigmas around race, culture, and class; to provide new avenues for dialogue to culminate in better understanding and eliminate the fear of differences.

Although this space is designated for students who have been historically underrepresented and underserved, including but not limited to students who identify as Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), LGBTQIA+, disabled, undocumented, first generation, low income, system impacted and more, it is open to all.

We envision a world where our unique identities are valued, shared and celebrated with love. 

What is Social Justice?

Social Justice can be defined as both a process and a goal. It is a process of changing culture and instilling values of fairness. It can help level the playing field and provide access to what every student needs to be successful: 

  • Basic needs (food, housing, warmth, rest, etc.)
  • Feeling safe while learning on and off campus;
  • Being part of something, engaged and valued as a human being;
  • Being acknowledged and being listened to;
  • Having the freedom and access to reach their full potential in academics, career, learning, and relationships.

Check out some of El Camino College's programs and services that ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed academically.
