Business, law, and society are inseparable and interdependent. Corporations, social enterprises, and government entities make decisions that reverberate throughout society. At the same time, the actions of individuals and communities significantly impact the business, legal, economic, and political organizations around them.
 
In our increasingly interconnected world, we need intellectually curious, rigorously analytical, and deeply ethical leaders who embrace this interdependence and deploy innovative strategies to build a more equitable world while achieving strategic objectives. Join us for an exploration of how Yale is answering that call through a commitment to developing a new generation of scholars, practitioners, and leaders dedicated to the shared ideals of excellence and social prosperity.

Join us for a conversation with Andrew Burgie '87 from YASC and Victoria Varela from Lotus House Women's Shelter, to learn more about YASC's plans in Miami. During this session, you will hear about our plans for a two day pilot service program in January 2025 to benefit the women, youth, and children of Miami. Sheltering 1,550+ women, youth and children annually, Lotus House is the largest women’s homeless shelter in the country. The organization provides shelter, resources, and multi-faceted, comprehensive supportive services to help their guests successfully exit the shelter system and lead lives of greater opportunity. 

Working alongside Victoria, Community Outreach Director for Lotus House, we will discuss service projects including taking inventory and record keeping, landscaping and gardening, painting, culinary and other prep work. We will also discuss timing, group size (anticipated 30 Yale volunteers), registration, and other details. YASC will leverage this opportunity to explore a full length service program to Miami in the future. Andrew will moderate the discussion.

If you are interested in this domestic service opportunity and would like to join us, this is a great opportunity to learn how you can make a difference, ask questions, and get involved. This event will be recorded. 

Join YCSD and the Surfrider Foundation for a beach and street cleanup at Ocean Beach Pier! You need to register with Surfrider directly - but let us know you're coming so we look for you on the day as well!

Meet at Ocean Beach Veterans' Plaza, just south of the lifeguard station where Abbot St. meets Newport Ave. If another event is on the grass, we'll be on the beach nearby. Just look for the blue Surfrider tent!

Weather Cancellation Policy
If it is lightly raining, we will hold the cleanup. If there are heavy rains, we will cancel the cleanup. To check the status of a cleanup, please see the Surfrider San Diego County events calendar or visit us on social media.
