About


When Spartans step into the community, opportunity grows.

CommUniverCity connects SJSU students with local communities to turn course learning into real-world solutions. Each year, hundreds of Spartans serve various community partners, such as small businesses and the youth, generating university support into 7x its value in community impact.

Across central San José, communities face barriers to opportunity. Through CommUniverCity, SJSU students are able to:

  • Bring interactive technology workshops directly to underserved youth.
  • Provide marketing to those who seek help in navigating their entrepreneurial dreams.
  • Serve as mentors and role models in building visible pathways to seek higher education.


This is CommUniverCity in action. With your support, we can sustain and grow this work.

Our Goal: $5,000

For every dollar you donate, CommUniverCity generates $7 in community value. Your gift funds even the littlest of things, like project boards SJSU students use to present their coursework knowledge, or materials used during hands-on learning demos.

Together, we can continue transforming learning into lasting community impact.
