August 2023 - Hey, Housing Enthusiasts!
August 3, 2023
It's membership month, day of service with H4H and membership bbq, 2 actions and housing news
August is Member Month at YIMBY Action and this year's theme is service. Santa Cruz YIMBY is offering two events, a build day with Habitat for Humanity and a sustainable barbecue at Ocean View Park.
Non-members who attend either of these events will qualify for a free one-year membership with YIMBY Action, which includes access to our Slack channel that lets you communicate with YIMBYs across the globe. You'll also get the exclusive Level Up t-shirt.
Already a member? Thank you! You can earn a shirt by bringing a friend to the event, referring a friend for paid or volunteer membership, or by donating $100 or more. Reach out if you have questions.
Build Affordable Housing with Habitat for Humanity
Saturday, August 5th @ 8:00 AM
Join us and spend a day volunteering at Habitat for Humanity's Live Oak construction site building affordable housing for our community. 2340 Harper Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95062 (registration required)
We had an absolute blast last year and are thrilled to offer this opportunity again. Spots are extremely limited (10 total), so lock yours in! All those who attend will also qualify for a year of volunteer membership with Santa Cruz YIMBY! This means you'll be able to vote on who we endorse, gain access to our Slack workspace to chat with YIMBYs across the country, and help guide the direction of our group.
Volunteers assist with construction tasks as assigned, according to the progression of the build. No previous construction experience is necessary, however, willingness to follow Habitat’s safety standards and construction practices is a must.
Burgers and Buildings!
Come to our Santa Cruz YIMBY BBQ
Sunday August 13th at noon
