University City Community Association

UCCA (University City Community Association) in University City, a community of San Diego, California, is a non-profit, non-political organization which provides and promotes civic, cultural, social, educational, and recreational opportunities for residents and is a voice of the community. Standley Park Recreation Center and UCCA, working with small crews, provide University City with more activities than any other community in the county. UCCA invites all neighbors to enjoy these events and projects and to consider involving themselves in some way to the planning or execution of similar functions.

UCCA sponsors or co-sponsors the Community Clean-up in May, the 4th of July Celebration in July, the Sunday Summer Concerts in July-August, the Banana Split Social in August and the Christmas Tree Lighting in December, all taking place at Standley Park and Standley Recreation Center. UCCA also sponsors or co-sponsors ongoing projects, such as the street banners on Governor Dr., Regents Rd, and Genesee Av., the U.C. Beautification and the Adopt a Highway project on Governor Drive.

Because communication is critical to the community, the UCCA launched in 2002 a monthly newsletter, delivered neighbor-to-neighbor, thus building community, fostering communication and providing information on community topics and issues of interest. For the same reason, the UCCA has launched the website [http://www.ucca-news.org www.ucca-news.org] in May 2007, completely rebuilt in June 2008.

The University City Community Association meets at the University City library on Governor Drive every second Wednesday of the month from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The monthly advancements of the ongoing UCCA projects, reported by the committee chairman or chairwoman, are discussed by the board. Community personalities, from the Mayor's office or the San Diego Police for instance, often take part in these meetings, open to the public.
