Turning climate awareness into action — we'll come together to serve the community most impacted by the historic flash floods of 2013-2015, working toward the future of this greenspace as a place for people of all ages to rest, gather, and grow. This year, we're hosting a "working brunch" where we'll collaborate with OCPNA on long-term strategy and funding to revitalize the greenspace. We'll come together in roundtable fashion to work on the sustainability of OCPNA's efforts to transform this greenspace into a community orchard. This year, we'll focus on Grantwriting, Fundraising, and Outreach. Our 2026 Yale Day of Service is dedicated to our late president and longtime Austinite Ana Mejia Dietche (YC '84), honoring her legacy of local impact leadership through arts, education, and collective care. If you're a grantwriter, entreprenuer, environmentalist, or just eager to get involved — there’s a place for you here. We encourage Yalies to invite friends and family, the more the merrier! Refreshments will be served, potluck style. Special thanks to Chris Dietche (YC '84) for hosting us.
