NBC Bay Area and Save the Bay volunteers gathered in San Francisquito Creek in Palo Alto in celebration of Save the Bay's 50th anniversary. They came together to remove mustard and pepper weed, which are foreign plants to the Bay's wetlands. Volunteers also helped prepare native species plants to grow later on in the year. Save the Bay relies on volunteers in order to restore these areas.
Join Bay Area Proud this May and celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month! Show your support and volunteer with us! Did you know that one in four Bay Area residents are Asian? Programs that serve the Asian communities often help clients develop English skills in order to better navigate their daily lives, mentor children in the classroom and assist the elderly.
Asian Americans for Community Involvement, Santa Clara County’s largest community-based organization, focuses on education, advocacy, health services and housing. The clients they serve are generally low income and in need of financial support. Offering your time or enlisting youth volunteers will provide the tools needed to become active community members while individually helping those in need. Please check out ACCI volunteer opportunities as well as other opportunities serving the Bay Area's Asian community. We hope to see you soon!
