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 to fund scholarships and program support for UCSC undergraduates participating in the Cal Teach program. 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 cgunther@ucsc.edu.
