About Us
The Community College League of California provides advocacy, professional development, and other supports to all 73 districts and 116 colleges in California.
The Community College League of California (League) is a nonprofit public benefit corporation whose voluntary membership consists of the 73 local public community college districts in California. We support locally elected trustees and community college CEOs to serve their students and communities by advocating on their behalf at the state and federal levels. The League also works with all members providing continued professional development for many roles and positions in the community college system, and delivering services that employ economies of scale to minimize cost.
The League empowers its members to transform the lives of our diverse students and strengthen communities statewide.
California Community Colleges as the model for community-based public higher education with an unparalleled commitment to access, equity and achievement.
The Community College League of California includes 22 staff who are dedicated to serving our members — California’s 73 community college districts.
In 2021, the League published the first comprehensive and contemporary history of the largest and most diverse public system of higher education in the United States. Serving over 2 million students annually―approximately one-quarter of the nation’s community college undergraduates―California’s 116 Community Colleges play an indispensable role in career and transfer education in North America and have maintained an outsized influence on the evolution of postsecondary education nationally.
