Connect Students to Basic Needs Department
If you are a faculty member, consider adding a basic needs security statement to your syllabus or share this slide on the first day of class to let students know what resources are available to them on campus.
Basic Needs Syllabus Statement
Being able to meet your basic needs is foundational to your success as a student at Miramar College. If you are having difficulty affording food, lack a stable place to live, or are struggling to meet another need, the campus has resources for you. Our Jet Fuel Resource Center supports Miramar students with services like 1:1 case management, the Jet Fuel Food Pantry, Flight Suit (free clothing), workshops, and more.
Please contact the Basic Needs Team JetFuelMira@sdccd.edu for information on how to get support or view more information at sdmiramar.edu/basicneeds.
Basic Needs Program Overview Slide
The slide below is a great resource to share with students on the first day of class. It provides an overview of the resources and services available via the Jet Fuel Resource Center. We encourage you to download the overview slide and add it to informational presentations.
Be the Bridge | Connect Students to Basic Needs Department
If you know of a Miramar College student who is facing challenges with access to adequate food, stable housing, affordable childcare, or meeting other basic needs, you can refer a student to complete the Basic Needs screener. We will review the form, and the student will be able to schedule an appointment with a Basic Needs Counselor to discuss resources or answer any questions. Due to the volume of requests for support, it might be a few business days before the student receives an outreach email from our team.
