The AS/UCSB Community Affairs Board (CAB) is an official board of the Associated Students Legislative Council. We are comprised of active students who work to bring the campus and community together through service.
The AS/UCSB Community Affairs Board (CAB), UCSB’s Volunteer Action Center, is dedicated to enhancing the educational experience of all UCSB Students by providing information and easy access to community service work. Through a wide range of projects and community programs, CAB seeks to augment classroom experiences, create opportunities for career exploration, connect UCSB to the community in a meaningful way, and promote the ethics of public service.
