Grads to Be Services

You can book an appointment with either our G2B Academic Counselor for academic help or our G2B Staff for referrals and college navigation help as an undocumented student in one of three ways:

  • Submit an Inquiry through the form available on this page.

You can book a Wellness Appointment with our G2B Mental Health Therapist for wellness support.

    Central American Resource Center (CARECEN)

    • In collaboration with the Central American Resource Center (CARECEN), we offer legal aid services to undocumented students.
    • You can book an appointment with an attorney through the FindYourAlly website (click here) by searching up “Fullerton College”. Through these appointments, students get help solely with immigration cases that include DACA renewals, advance parole, exploration of adjustment of status, and more. 

      Our undocumented community faces many challenges, one of which includes financial challenges, consequently, G2B works diligently every semester to provide supply cards for groceries or books. Currently, due to the rise of cases with COVID-19 in CA, we are addressing this service with caution to not put anyone at risk and are taking an indefinite hiatus from providing this resource until further notice. To learn how to access this service please book an appointment with G2B staff members.

      As part of our mission to foster an inclusive environment for all students on campus. G2B aims to educate the district community about the undocumented community through the UndocuAlly Edudators Training Series. By doing so we aim to activate educators across the district to better understand the undocumented student experience and support our undocumented students. We will be providing opportunities to educate ourselves on this subject matter throughout the academic year. Keep a lookout for upcoming trainings available on our UndocuAlly Educators Training Series webpage.

      G2B is excited to provide events and workshops throughout the academic year to better inform students about resources and opportunities while encouraging participants to network and build community. Please check out our upcoming events for more information.
