We Are Isla Vista: Community Care Project


From November 8th-16th, we're partnering with IVRPD and IVCSD for a week full of volunteer opportunities right in the heart of Isla Vista!


Whether it’s helping out at a local community garden, compost sifting, donating to the food drive, or doing litter pick-up to clean up the streets, there is something for everyone. All volunteers are invited to an end-of-week celebration and “thank you” lunch on November 16th. There will be a variety of Isla Vista and UCSB organizations in attendance, so you can continue to find ways to connect with the community!


All majors and experience levels are welcome!

Grow Your Own Tea


Stressed about midterms? Come take a study break at our Grow Your Own Tea Workshop! Learn how to plant and care for calming herbs like chamomile, mints, and lemon balm, perfect for brewing your own stress-relief tea. You'll leave with your own knowledge, tools, and the tips to keep it growing through finals week.

All meditative experiences are welcome, from beginners to experts.
