Welcome to Cal Teach UC Santa Cruz
California Teach is a University of California program for undergraduate science, math, and engineering majors. Its goal is to increase the number and retention of new, highly qualified math and science teachers in California. UCSC's program offers undergraduates paid K-12 internships, academic and career advising, teacher professional development and mentoring, and other support towards becoming a credentialed teacher. Successful Cal Teach interns are encouraged to enroll in UCSC's combined Master of Arts in education and teaching credential program for which merit fellowships are available.
 Your gift will help maintain strong Cal Teach offerings for undergraduates at UCSC. Please designate Cal Teach if making an online donation. For more information on how to give to Cal Teach, please contact the Development Office at 831-459-2192 or hgrimes@ucsc.edu.
 Gifts to the Edward and Miriam Landesman Fundfor Future Teachers of Math or Science allow us to provide individual financial support to Cal Teach interns and recent graduates.
