The Community Relations Team:
- Communicates campus plans and activities
- Solicits community feedback
- Responds to questions and concerns
- Relays community concerns and suggestions to campus decision makers for consideration and action
UCSF has campus sites and satellite locations throughout San Francisco, as well as locations in South San Francisco and Fresno.
The mission of the Community Advisory Group is (1) to ensure the implementation of the 1996 Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) Goals and Objectives, serving as a community advisory body and sounding board for UCSF administration on LRDP-related issues, based on a city-wide perspective; and (2) to assist UCSF in strengthening communication links with the public on broader issues of community concern.

Currently, there are three CAG Action Teams (CATs) which function as sub-committees of the CAG, delving a bit deeper into upcoming projects and issues: the Mission Bay CAT, Mount Zion CAT, and Parnassus CAT.

It is the intent of UCSF Community and Government Relations to provide information in a timely fashion. We commit to striving to meet the following information distribution schedule for community meetings, including UCSF Community Advisory Group (CAG) meetings, CAG Action Team meetings, and other UCSF community meetings:
Community meeting notification will begin a minimum of four weeks in advance of the community meeting with an email notification and an online meeting announcement posted on this website. If a specific meeting location is not known, a “save the date” notice will be posted. Any postcard mailings will be sent as close to four weeks in advance of the meetings as possible, and newspaper advertisements will run with timeliness in mind, but based on the newspaper distribution calendar. Meeting notifications will always include the main agenda topic.
Community meeting agendas and presentations will be posted on the UCSF Community Relations website if they are available in advance of the meeting. They will always be posted within two days after the meeting, barring technological difficulties. Our goal is to provide this information at least two days in advance, but this may not always be possible.

UCSF often has surplus items in its warehouse including office furniture, file cabinets, computers, printers, and more. The University gives local nonprofits a chance to obtain these items free of charge.
UCSF also co-sponsors the use of conference facilities for San Francisco nonprofit organizations at the Laurel Heights, Parnassus Heights, and Mission Bay campuses. These subsidies offer local nonprofit groups access to our facilities for meetings, conferences, and other events. Annual subsidies are limited and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
UCSF is committed to hiring locally and strives to provide jobs to those who live in the communities that neighbor UCSF campuses.
