CREATE supports courses, programs, and informal student-led outreach efforts across campus that get UC San Diego students into the San Diego education community and informal outreach efforts designed by UC San Diego students. CREATE helps UC San Diego students to leverage their knowledge and energy in outreach and service learning to support local students and educators. Some outreach programs are credit-bearing courses; others invite student participation more informally.
CREATE helps faculty think about how to leverage their work for local students and teachers. When funding allows, we help faculty fully execute their ideas for grants and outreach. See our Partnerships page for more examples, particularly in the CREATE STEM Success Initiative. Fill out our intake form for an initial consult.

In PAL classes, UC San Diego undergraduates gain invaluable skills and experience through working with the region’s P-12 students and schools as tutors, mentors and researchers.
