Founded in 1972, the Joint Education Project facilitates partnerships between USC and a number of local educational agencies, ranging from elementary schools to adult education programs. Each semester, JEP places USC undergraduates from approximately 65 academic courses in these schools. The student volunteers provide support for classroom teachers, and have an opportunity for practical application for their adademic skills. The program is also open to work-study students. Most recently, it became an active participant in the nationwide America Reads program.
