580 Café

The 580 Café Experience

In 2010, 580 Café opened our doors and space for students to build collective care and share food, conversation and activism.  In our ten years of  activity and community, the "580" has become a place for students to express and engage their worldviews, ideas, activism and creativity.  Students design, lead and coordinate our daily, weekly and special gatherings.   
In March 2020,  580 Café  became  "Virtual 580 Café "  to care for our Mind -Body-Spirit during the global pandemic. In September 2021 we celebrated regathering in our space while maintaining CDC guidelines, and continuing our evening sessions online.  The community continues to connect online and in person to nourish your head, heart and spirit.
We return to remote sessions in January 2022 in accordance with UCLA  guidelines, and will offer hybrid opportunities for students to meet online and  in-person by appointment only.
Our weekly programs  and gatherings provide ways for students to create, hold and find brave space to  share in collective learning, dialogue,  and relaxation  together. 
Take a break and find space to step outside the busy-ness of studies and work. Check out our "Daily Menu" for current offerings!
