Student Activism
California Common Cause is committed to training young leaders who will carry on the mission and vision of Common Cause.
Student Organizing Series
California Common Cause has been training students to be organizers and activists for over a decade. We invite you to sign up for our Summer 2024 S.O.S. series, which includes seven 45-minute webinar modules. The modules are part organizing and activism training and part democracy reform issues training. Find more information about S.O.S. here.

- We help host campus and community events and actions that bring attention to current campaigns and important legislation that impact young people.
- We support and mentor students in their campus campaigns to improve democracy, from voter registration drives to passing legislative reforms.
- We offer paid internships, College fellowship programs, stipends for volunteers, and we fund all supplies and training materials.
- We host other networking opportunities for young members to connect and learn about ways to get involved.
