Yale Day of Service: CA, Tiburon - Outdoor workday at historic Immigration Station in Angel Island State Park
For the tenth time, Yale alumni will be helping clean up the grounds of the immigration station on Angel Island. After a one-mile hike (including about 100 stairsteps), volunteers will perform weeding and cleaning onsite. The location is the grounds of the historic station where about one million immigrants were processed between 1910 and 1940. After a lunch break, Grant Din '79, former staff at the Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation, will lead a tour of the former barracks, mess hall, and hospital including new exhibits in the latter two spaces.
Bring a lunch and water; tools will be provided (if you have favorite gloves, tools, etc. feel free to bring them). We plan to take the 7:30 a.m. staff ferry and work from about 8:30 to 12 noon and tour around 1-3. Return ferries leave around 5.
Affordable ($5) parking is down the street next to the CVS - put in 1599 Tiburon Blvd., Tiburon into your GPS. Breakfast and lunches you can take to the island are available from 7 a.m. on at Cafe Acri next to the ferry dock, but allow enough time to order and get your food.
