Explore New Growth and Gain Experience (ENGAGE) is a student led club offered by the Cocurricular Unit ("the Coco") that works to foster leadership and community building for College Ten students during fall quarter. Students have the opportunity to discuss social justice issues, organize projects and establish a relationship with the greater Santa Cruz community. This year the students of ENGAGE fundraised to help purchase Thanksgiving dinners for ten low-income families through multiple fundraising methods, including tabling, movie nights, and game nights. The Activities team held a dance and contributed $225 of the proceeds to augment the CoCo's fundraising efforts!  ENGAGE students went shopping at local groceries stores to purchase food items and personally delivered the items to each family. Students also collaborated with the Beach Flats Community Center in organizing a large dinner hosted at the center in celebration of community building and the holiday season.
