Gentrification, housing insecurity, and homelessness are three major issues affecting many of the people that live in the San Francisco Bay Area. With Silicon Valley’s tech companies driving up housing prices, it is more important than ever for students to understand the struggles of our surrounding communities and advocate for their needs. Specific issues/topics/groups this department works with include:

jenna solisProgram Coordinator | jmsolis@scu.edu
She/Her/Hers Hi! My name is Jenna Solis. I am a sophomore from San Jose, California. I am currently undecided within the Leavey School of Business, but plan on studying Finance. Outside of SCCAP, I am involved in the Associated Student Government as a Sophomore Senator, I serve as the Student Affairs Committee Chair, a peer advisor within LSB, and one of the event coordinators for the Undergraduate Marketing Association. I am so excited to be a part of SCCAP this year because social justice has always been a passion of mine. I constantly look for new ways to educate myself and others, and act upon the many injustices that I learn about. I see SCCAP as a wonderful opportunity to become even more involved in my community and make a change across the Santa Clara neighborhood and beyond:)

zara a shariffProgram Coordinator | zshariff@scu.edu
She/Her/Hers I'm from San Jose, CA and love listening to music and being outdoors! I am really excited to be a part of SCCAP this year because I think we all have a really great opportunity to teach others and take action especially after coming out of a year of quarantine and covid. I think this past year has given each of us a lot of perspective, and personally I know that I can provide a lot of insight while cultivating different events for our community.
