Yale Club of Austin and Yale Blue Green teamed up for YDOS this year to serve our community through an environmental justice project.  We were excited to partner with Fruitful Commons and Onion Creek Park Neighborhood Alliance to help develop a regenerative greenspace and orchard in South Austin. Turning climate awareness into climate action, our project will serve the community still recovering from the historic flash floods of 2013 and 2015, which swept away hundreds of homes and claimed the lives of 5 residents. Our Yale volunteers add momentum to this noble grassroots effort amplifying their mission to bring healing and new life to the area, and developing a greenspace oasis where future generations can gather, rest, and learn.
