You’re Invited: 2026 Humboldt College Corps Pitch Fest!
Humboldt College Corps Pitch Fest
Monday, Feb 9, 2026, 4:00pm - 6:15pm
Founders Hall 118
Pitch Fest brings together Humboldt College Corps Fellows and their supervisors to develop projects that address existing needs at their community-based service sites. The event showcases Fellows’ innovation and their ability to apply skills developed over the academic year, while also underscoring the close partnership between Humboldt College Corps and our Service Partners, whose work helps cultivate the next generation of service-minded civic leaders.
Under the mentorship of site supervisors, Fellows engage in project development, presentation, and implementation before competing for selection as Pitch Fest finalists. Finalists present their proposals to a live audience and a panel of distinguished guest judges, who select winning projects based on criteria such as feasibility, scope, and readiness.
Pitch Fest reflects Humboldt College Corps’ mission to prepare Fellows with practical, job-ready experience and is designed and co-led by Founders Mark.
