Community Engagement Day

Community Engagement Day at Cate was an embodiment of solidarity and service as students, faculty, and staff joined hands to make a tangible difference in the local Carpinteria community. With enthusiasm and dedication, they ventured into over 20 organizations, each with unique missions and needs. From power washing facilities to gardening, renovating to painting, the tasks undertaken were as diverse as the organizations themselves.

From Carp Children’s Farm to Lanterns Global INC., Sweet Wheel Farm to the Santa Barbara Zoo, the breadth of involvement showcased the Cate community’s commitment to various causes. Whether it was Heal the Ocean’s conservation efforts or assisting at local schools like Canalino Elementary and Carpinteria Middle School, every contribution left a lasting impact.

Beyond the physical labor, Community Engagement Day fostered connections, understanding, and empathy. It bridged gaps, built relationships, and strengthened the bonds between Cate and its surrounding communities, embodying the spirit of service and citizenship.
