About

The Isla Vista Beautiful Program (IVB) originally came to life in 2019 thanks to the United Way of Northern Santa Barbara County as a way to enhance our community by empowering our most vulnerable residents with work experience. As of 2022, the IVCSD has fully adopted the Isla Vista Beautiful Program. Our focus is on creating efficient and effective beautification procedures to tackle a number of issues in Isla Vista including but not limited to trash pickup, weed removal, graffiti abatement, street light additions, and reparations, as well as business and residential facade improvements. We currently have a team of five workers who are out and about in Isla Vista everyday addressing beautification issues. Another important goal is to facilitate a more sustainable and less disruptive move-out process at the end of each school year.

Though Isla Vista is only one square mile in size, identifying and addressing the beautification needs throughout its entirety requires help from the whole community. This is why we have created this Google Form which provides a way for community members to easily submit beautification requests to the Isla Vista Beautiful team.

We highly value ideas and feedback regarding the beautification of Isla Vista and invite you to fill out the following survey.
