UCLA Volunteer Day – Saturday, September 27
2025-09-27 09:00 - 12:00
Mark your calendars! This year’s UCLA Volunteer Day is a wonderful opportunity for Luskin alumni, faculty, staff, and current students to come together, give back, and make a difference in our community.

We’ll kick off the morning with coffee and donuts to fuel our volunteer spirit, then roll up our sleeves and get to work for a great cause.

📅 Date: Saturday, September 27
🕘 Time: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM (tentative)
📍 Location: jane b. semel HCI Community Garden
111 Easton Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90095
☕ Perk: Coffee & donuts provided by UCLA Luskin

Volunteers will rejuvenate the orchard and garden plots through fun, hands-on activities. Working in rotating groups, you’ll help weed, clear eucalyptus, and refresh our community plots with compost. In the amphitheater, you’ll plant native seeds to grow in the greenhouse, and during breaks, join a pollination watch by spotting bees and butterflies to support the garden’s ecological health.

We hope you’ll join us in making this year’s Volunteer Day one to remember!
