Field Guide to Community Service Field Guide to Community Service 2.0 We believe in the power of community Compass Collective is excited to present the award-winning Field Guide to Community Service 2.0. We revived this publication to help motivate you to get involved, give back and make a difference! Compass Collective has a grassroots mindset, a high-touch approach and a genuine, long-held belief that we all have an opportunity to make every day better through service to our community. The Field Guide is designed to be a “starter kit” for individuals who crave deeper engagement in our community but are not quite sure how to begin. It’s intended to be a useful, up-to-date resource with relevant information that is easily accessed. It’s simple Community engagement can sometimes feel overwhelming. Don’t worry, we make it easy. If you’re new to a city, or if you’ve felt out of the loop for a while, we’ll show you how to get started, dig deeper or go all in. The good news is, getting connected has never been easier, and the Field Guide can help. It’s all of us By holding this publication in your hands, you’ve already taken the first step. And with each step you take on this journey to community service, you’ll be accompanied by the doers, the joiners and the activists. The truth is that we are all in this together and there is strength in numbers. Ready? Come on, we’ll show you the way. “Give your hands to serve and your hearts to love.” — Mother Teresa The cover The cover photo of “Hands” was donated by Kymberli Brady, sanjosestock.com. Thanks to her generous spirit for supporting The Field Guide to Community Service 2.0. “Hands” by Christian Moeller, 2009 Approaching the Mineta San José International Airport from the east, the hands of 53 Silicon Valley residents greet the world and reach for the skies from a mural created with 400,000 plastic pixels snapped onto architectural metal mesh, spanning 1,200 feet and standing seven stories high. Christian Moeller is an artist and professor in the department of Design Media Arts at UCLA and operates his studio in Silverlake, Los Angeles, California. His large scale site specific works interrogate and explore the synergies between architecture and sound, technology and moving image. Over the past two decades, his work has been increasingly focused on the field of public art and surveillance art.

    Volume 22, Number 4 November 2011 SfAA President’s Column By Merrill Eisenberg [[email protected]] University of Arizona he SfAA Board met in Denver on October 15-16, and I am happy to report that all is well with your Society! We are coming up on our T75 th birthday in 2016, but we are nowhere near ready for retirement! In fact, we are very busy planning for “Beyond 75”. We’ve come a long way since our founding in 1941, when, as John Bennett recalled in his SfAA Oral History interview, “…we regarded this as a kind of cult formation. That is, I think our attitude was, ‘Well, so what’s all the fuss about?’ It should be applied, you know; it should have some mix… do Merrill Eisenberg something that has relevance for the world, for… for men, for humans…’” Our first annual meeting was held in 1941 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The entire group of attendees fit into one room and less than 10 papers were presented. Among the presenters were Margaret Mead, William F. Whyte, and Eliot Chapple. Today, the SfAA is almost 3000 members strong. Approximately 10% of our members reside outside of the US, in 47 different countries. Thirty percent of our members are students. Approximately 2000 people attend our meetings in a "good" year and hundreds of papers, presentations, workshops, roundtables and panels are held. We've come a long way from our cultish ancestors! Looking “Beyond 75” we recognize our changing world and what that means for applied social science and for our Society.
