Hermanas Unidas de UCSB
Community Service
A note from our Community Service Chair...
"I ran for community service chair in order to connect our organization to the communities that surround the university, such as the people of Isla Vista and Goleta. I hope to show surrounding communities the support we have for them as they show us in our endeavors in higher education. I also wanted to help oversee the high school outreach program of Hermana’s Unidas known as M.E.N.T.O.R. As most of our members, I am a first-generation student and know how vital it is having someone inform you on the college process. I hope to invite many students from back home in the Central Valley to our program to inform them of the options available regarding college and higher ed."
- Sharon Rayburn
In order to empower ourselves we must begin with our community. Through the community service events we hold, we strive to enrich ourselves, the environment, and the lives of our community members. Various events range from: outreach programs, food, clothing, and toy drives, fundraisers to battle the following problems: AIDS, breast cancer, rape and domestic violence, ecological restoration projects, holiday activities for the children of Isla Vista, participating in an after school program at IV elementary, to a valentine's dance held for the residents at Friendship Manor. These events give our hermanas the opportunity to see life beyond academics.
