Community Compass

   Community Compass is indeed a club with the community in mind, focused on informing students about the homeless population and taking steps to support them. 

   A brand new club for the 2023-24 school year, it’s a unique organization to Gabrielino planning to asist various homeless shelters and organizations around San Gabriel.

  The club does this by assembling hygiene kits and receiving other donations for the homeless. “During our club meetings, we’ll be assembling hygiene kits… to donate to shelters and other organizations and ultimately give back to the community,” president Kevin Liu, 10, tells us. 

  Moving into the holiday season, they have plans for a blanket and clothes donation drive. “We know in winter it’s going to be cold and the homeless need to get warm. We’ll have blankets, clothing, all that, and then we’ll pack it up into boxes, like a present, and give it to shelters and organizations.”

  Community Compass meets on the 3rd Thursday of the month in E160. The room will change to B249 starting in the second semester.
