At Legacy Education, community service is more than a value — it’s part of our identity. Across all our colleges, students, faculty, and staff dedicate time, skills, and compassion to uplift the communities we call home. From healthcare outreach and disaster relief to animal welfare and global aid, Legacy campuses are proud to go beyond the classroom to make a real difference.
HDMC campuses in Bakersfield, Temecula, and Lancaster serve their communities through healthcare outreach, fundraisers, and vital partnerships. Students host blood drives with the American Red Cross and Houchin Community Blood Bank, provide free ultrasounds and health screenings, and support local nonprofits through food, toy, and clothing drives. Partnerships with Mission Hope, Michelle’s Place, Habitat for Humanity, Grace Resources, and others ensure thousands of families receive care, essentials, and hope each year.
Central Coast College students extend their training into service through partnerships that improve both animal welfare and human health. Veterinary Assisting and Technology students provide husbandry and care at organizations like the SPCA of Monterey County, Animal Friends Rescue Project, and Monterey Wildlife Rescue. Nursing students contribute hundreds of volunteer hours in clinics and nursing homes, serving over 500 community members while gaining valuable patient care experience.
Integrity College of Health demonstrates resilience and compassion through both crisis response and community partnership. When wildfires came within blocks of the Pasadena campus, the entire campus community was safely evacuated and supported with resources, food, and clothing. Ongoing partnerships with the Pasadena Humane Society, Tena Health, and Polishing the Professional provide opportunities for students to place shelter pets in homes, deliver health screenings at pop-up clinics, and build workforce readiness skills for students with disabilities.
CCMCC integrates service into every part of campus life. Students and staff adopt families for the holidays, support local shelters, and extend aid globally, from Maui fire relief to underserved communities in Africa. Regular American Red Cross blood drives and health screenings allow students to practice clinical skills while strengthening public health. Each year, CCMCC also partners with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, raising over $15,000 and walking alongside hundreds to honor and support those affected.
From local neighborhoods to global communities, Legacy Education’s commitment to service is woven into every campus. By integrating outreach with education, our students develop the skills, compassion, and leadership that define tomorrow’s healthcare and veterinary professionals. Together, we’re building stronger communities — and stronger futures.
Our campuses and students are consistently recognized for their dedication to service.
