News and Events

Come join for our last two jogs and talks of the school year! We’ll be meeting both times at Camino Brewing Company on South 1st Street for a 3-4 mile jog. Stick around afterwards for their Taco Tuesday deal or to just catch up with others as we close out the school year!

These group close out spaces in late May for 2CMs are meant to be an opportunity not only to reflect on the impact you’ve had and the growth that you’ve made, but also to celebrate in community with fellow 2017 corps members. You should coordinate with your coach to determine the best night for you!

The newest members of our San Jose-South Bay Corps Community will be joining us for a day in the South Bay on Wednesday, June 5th. This day will culminate in a community dinner with students, families, current corps members, and alumni! We know that early June is a busy time of year; however, this is a great opportunity to open ourselves and welcome our newest corps members!
