AmeriCorps Bridging Borders - What's NewCesar Chavez Day Serve-A-Thon a Huge SuccessThis year’s Cesar Chavez Day Serve-A-Thon was a huge success, thanks in large part to the service and fundraising efforts of AmeriCorps Bridging Borders members! The AC team served alongside SJSU student groups and local community leaders to clean, renovate, and beautify Roosevelt Community Center and its surrounding park and neighborhoods, east of the SJSU campus. The Center will now be able to offer more programming and an improved facility to the children, teens, families, and community leaders it serves. Not only did members contribute their hours of service on March 19, they also raised over $2250 in pledges, which will be put towards community health promotion and education at the Spring 2005 Open Air Health Fair. Cesar Chavez’s legacy of service to the community has certainly lived on through the efforts and enthusiasm of AmeriCorps members to pull together and make a lasting impact in their community! |
Center for Community Located in Clark Hall 203 and 126C
