Other groups involved include the A.S. Cesar E. Chavez Community Action Center, City Year Silicon Valley, Friends of Coyote Creek, the Health Trust, Neighborhood Housing Services Silicon Valley, Olinder Neighborhood Association, Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley and the Volunteer Center of Silicon Valley.
The day's events begin with registration and welcoming at 8 a.m. at the Student Union. Volunteers will then be shuttled to 25 different locations in the downtown and Five Wounds/Brookwood Terrace neighborhoods for the various projects. The event will conclude with a barbecue back at the Student Union, where San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed will address the crowd.
"The purpose of the day is really to talk about the need for the university and the surrounding community to work together," said Cathy Busalacchi, the associate vice president for campus life. "It is our partnership with the community."
Students and community members were asked to pre-register so that the organizers would know how many volunteers to expect, Pelina said. However, if students that did not register want to help, they might be able to come to the Student Union to help with registration and the barbecue.
