      JFS Safe Parking Program
      Add to Calendar 2025-05-03T20:45:00 2025-05-03T22:30:00 America/New_York Yale Day of Service: CA, San Diego - Meal Service, Safe Parking Program Join the Yale Club of San Diego in offering a meal to unsheltered neighbors. The Safe Parking Program offers a pathway out of homelessness and a return to stable housing. Every night, they provide safety, security, and support for unsheltered San Diegans living out of their vehicles, many of whom are experiencing homelessness for the first time. As these individuals and families work to lift themselves up out of a difficult situation, many are making a nightly choice between buying food or purchasing gas to get to work and school—creating further barriers to stability are the isolation and lack of social support that so many experiencing homelessness often face. The Safe Parking Program provides a welcoming environment, meaningful resources and tools, and dignified support to help families stabilize and transition back into permanent housing. With wraparound services focused on basic needs assistance, employment, family wellness, school success, financial education, credit repair, and most importantly, a return to housing.

      Add to Calendar 2025-05-05T21:30:00 2025-05-05T21:30:00 America/New_York In Conversation with Dr. Martha Munoz hosted by the Yale Club of San Diego Join In Conversation with visiting evolutionary biologist and 2024 MacArthur Fellowship winner (aka the "Genius Grant"), Dr. Martha Munoz who is traveling to San Diego just to speak to us! She is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale and Assistant Curator in the Division of Vertebrate Zoology at the Yale Peabody Museum. Dr. Munoz will speak about one of the most striking patterns of evolution -- its uneven tempo across the tree of life. Whereas some traits and lineages diversify rapidly, others appear to remain inert over millions of years. But, why is this so? What allows some features to achieve evolutionary overdrive, and why do some traits appear to straddle evolution's slow lane? Dr. Munoz will explore this question by focusing on behavior, one of evolution's key architects. She'll illustrate how organisms are not the passive targets of selection; rather, through behavior, they can be the agents of selection. Using Caribbean Anolis lizards as a model system, she reveals the signatures of behavior on evolution, and illustrates the constraints on this phenomenon. Hosted by Sacha Litman (YC95) on Monday, May 5th at 6:30pm. (Address will be provided ahead of the event by email.) Reserve your spot today. Space is limited. false
