Creando Raíces is an exciting learning community at Cal Poly Humboldt dedicated to exploring community organizing, education, and Ethnic Studies. Students will get the chance to participate in activities that highlight all the various issues related to Ethnic Studies and connect with local community organizations dedicated to social justice. 

Why be a part of Creando Raíces?

  1. Instant connections. Be part of a cohort of first-year students who are exploring how their values, academic preparation, and communities connect.

  3. Community Immersion. Participate in an immersive experience for a day and a half before classes begin. You will meet your Creando Raíces community,  learn more about your cohort classes and explore the local area. 

  4. “Creando Raíces 101”. Take a class that engages you with campus resources, develops your confidence to become a community builder, and explores your goals as a future professional.
