Student-Initiated Community Service Projects

University of California at Berkeley - CA, California
Contact Person:  

For over 35 years, the core of UC Berkeley’s community service programming has been student groups running a variety of educational outreach and community development initiatives throughout the state. The Cal Corps Public Service Center provides these groups, through a sponsorship process that mirrors a foundation grant process, specialized advising services, access to administrative resources, risk management support, and operational grants to support their service projects. Sponsored groups have reporting and leadership training requirements throughout the year.

Thanks to Campus Compact for all that you have done over the years to nurture the campus service and service-learning movement. When we started at St. A's 15 years ago there was a feeling among some campuses that we were seeing higher education's latest 'flash in the pan.' Instead it was the beginning of a revolution of ideas and relationships, and you guys have been fueling us all the way."

-Daniel Forbes, Director, Meelia Center for Community Service, Saint Anselm College
