Community Service  
Team Captain: Amber

If you love hands-on service, this is the team for you! The Community Service Team brings people together to meet real needs across San Diego. From rolling up our sleeves at projects with Just In Time for Foster Youthclean-ups with I Love A Clean San Diego, to serving meals at places like the Salvation Army, Monarch School, Ronald McDonald House, and G.R.A.C.E., we show up where help is needed most.

Each month, we create opportunities to serve side by side, build relationships, and leave a tangible mark on our community. Whether it’s feeding families, caring for our environment, or supporting students, every project reminds us that small acts of service add up to big impact.

    Meets 1st Wednesday @ 10:30 am via Zoom 

    *Great for anyone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, giving back, and seeing immediate results from their efforts.

    Community Impact Grants Team Captain: Karina + Brian 

    Do you want to play a hands-on role in shaping how our club invests in the future of San Diego? The Community Impact Grants Team partners with local organizations to support projects that directly impact youth across our region. Each fall, organizations submit proposals—and together, our team reviews, evaluates, and selects the programs we’ll fund for the year.

    As a team member, you’ll help:

    • Decide which projects receive grants

    • Present checks and celebrate with partner organizations

    • Help plan our Annual Giving Day

    • See firsthand the difference our support makes

    Our grant process begins in the fall and decisions are made in January.

    *Great for anyone who enjoys the grant-making process, believes in collective decision-making, and wants to witness the ripple effect of our giving in action.
