You can make a difference as a student, as faculty or as a community member, by volunteering, teaching, or\u00a0donating.<br>\n\nThe area served is culturally very diverse; more than 50% of residents are immigrants and over 70% of households speak languages other than English at home.<br>\n\n\nCommUniverCity\u2019s model originated with an idea that bringing the collective resources of major institutions together to bear on local, community development issues, the potential for sustainable, meaningful change would be great. Since our early years, we have sought to establish a solid foundation of trust between partners, a relationship that was built from the ground up, with every project developed by community residents, faculty, students and City staff working side by side. Based on existing community-identified needs, our projects are categorized in three core pillars: Engage, Learn, and Build. \n<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\n\n<b>OUR MODEL<\/b>\n<br><br>\n<b>\u2022 Engage \u2013 Community Health<\/b>\n<br><br>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cucsj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture1.png?ssl=1\" alt=\"A palm holding a flower and the word Engage\">\n<br><br>\nEngage projects seek to transform Central San Jos\u00e9 communities by expanding understanding of individual capacity and capability, a necessary effort to improve community health. In these programs, residents of all ages engage in mentorships with our SJSU service-learning students to build knowledge for the individual self and the individual\u2019s role in connection to their larger community. These projects include skill building in areas like leadership, civic engagement, food security, entrepreneurship, financial literacy and legal consultation for expungement law.\n<br>\n<br>\n<b> \u2022 Learn -Education<\/b>\n<br>\n<br>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cucsj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture3.png?ssl=1\" alt=\"A magnifying glass over a world and the word Learn \">\n<br><br>\nLearn projects support a fluid exchange of ideas, knowledge and resources between our SJSU service-learning students and the neighboring residents. Faculty and campus leaders recognize the power of high impact pedagogies such as service-learning to instill in students an ethic of civic engagement in a democratic society. Downtown residents, who are traditionally underserved, take part in these programs that serve to increase literacy skills and instill a \u201ccollege-going\u201d culture. These projects include college campus touring, reading and writing skill learning, sustainability practices and STEM concepts.\n<br><br>\n<b>\u2022 Build \u2013 Neighborhood Revitalization<\/b>\n<br><br>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cucsj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture2.png?ssl=1\" alt=\"A building with a leave decoration and the word Build\">\n<br><br>\nBuild projects funnel city resources to address the priorities of long neglected neighborhoods. These programs create a space for community participation and engage residents in the decision-making processes that direct public investment. Build projects seek to revitalize, physically and conceptually, downtown neighborhoods using efficient and sustainable practices. These projects include community planning assessments, neighborhood reactivation and community fairs aimed at building public knowledge of resources and placemaking efforts.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p><b> NHI\u1ec6M V\u1ee4 C\u1ee6A CH\u00daNG T\u00d4I L\u00c0<\/b>\n<br><br>\nTham gia v\u1edbi ch\u00fang t\u00f4i!

En estos programas, los residentes de todas las edades participan en tutor\u00edas con nuestros universitarios en programas de aprendizaje de servicio social (service learning) para desarrollar contenidos para el individuo y su papel y conexi\u00f3n en su comunidad. Estos proyectos incluyen el desarrollo de habilidades en \u00e1reas como liderazgo, compromiso c\u00edvico, nutrici\u00f3n y seguridad en los alimentos, esp\u00edritu empresarial, educaci\u00f3n financiera y consulta legal para la ley de eliminaci\u00f3n de antecedentes penales.\n\n<br><br>\n<br><br><br><br>\n<b>\u2022 Aprender -Educaci\u00f3n<\/b>\n<br><br>\n\nLos proyectos de aprendizaje respaldan un intercambio de ideas, conocimientos y recursos entre nuestros universitarios de los programas de aprendizaje de servicio social (service learning) y los vecinos.

Cushing:<\/strong><br>Queridos amigos, socios y patrocinadores de CommUniverCity,<br>This past year brought new high points and challenges for our work in the underserved neighborhoods of Central San Jose. Our efforts brought together faculty and students in over two dozen different academic departments ranging from psychology to geology and over a dozen institutions of higher education in Northern California.<\/p><p>\n\nAlongside them were staff and leadership from eight City of San Jose Departments, two regional government agencies, and over a dozen k-12 school and after school partners. Major contributors and collaborators also included longtime corporate sponsors, community-based organizations, and resident associations. We joyously celebrated our 15th year of bringing positive social change at our November Quincea\u00f1era with 220 past, present, and future \u201cCommUniverCitans\u201d and commendations from city, state, and national elected officials. Four months later, San Jose State, Santa Clara County, and much of the nation shut down as schools and businesses went remote due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A number of our projects that centered around in-person engagement had to be cancelled. Other projects moved online. Student staff moved back home. The cornerstone of CommUniverCity activity\u2013being out in the community\u2013wasn\u2019t feasible in its traditional form.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">So, we pivoted. Thanks to the hard work and open-mindedness of sponsors, project partners, faculty and students, and CommUniverCity staff we developed alternative ways of reaching out, teaching our emerging Spanish-speaking resident leaders how to use Zoom and hosting how-to workshops on using social media platforms to local businesses. SJSU students switched up their plans from leading face-to-face workshops this spring to making engaging do-it-yourself videos on engineering and entrepreneurship. We put together family-based garden kits and distributed them to local families. Somehow, we made things work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Despite this year\u2019s upheaval, we find much to be thankful for. In April the respected Bay Area urban policy think tank, SPUR, honored CommUniverCity with its 2020 Impact Award for Community Advocacy. We are also happy to be one of the three founding institutions leading the Northern California Environmental Justice Network, together with colleagues at Santa Clara and Stanford Universities. And by grassroots request, CommUniverCity\u2019s geography expanded to include projects in South Santa Clara County and the Alum Rock corridor of east San Jose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The road ahead still holds many unknowns. However, one thing we know for sure is that CommUniverCity will continue its holistic approach to making great neighborhoods for everyone through university learning projects that strengthen community health, increase educational achievement, and improve neighborhood infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>En comunidad,<\/p>\n<p>Dra.
