One Paragraph Description
UC Berkeley is working to promote the effectiveness of its campus’s service and civic work in education and youth development. They are creating videos to raise awareness of educational inequity in the East Bay, and to promote higher levels of involvement at local youth sites, and broader student engagement in support of educational equity.
Summary of Activities: Cumulative
Please add a few bullets that summarize the work your program has done related to Serve 2.0 from first learning of the initiative. This might include web media you've developed (such as wikis, videos), students/staff you've engaged, planning meetings, educational activities/trainings, and service events or activities sponsored in relation to this work.
Sub-Grant Proposal
- Events/Meetings held or attended: The Facebook application team has met with Cal Corps staff 3 times to outline and demo the application design; Cal Corps staff has weekly meetings with the Video Project Director and the Video Project Director has organized 6 site visits to partner youth sites to collect video footage for the mashup.
- Primary social media developed/utilized: We are working on two main social media: a google mashup featuring local youth-serving organizations that would like the support of UCB students (as volunteers or employees) and video clips of each, and a Facebook application in support of Educational Equity that allows students to invite their friends to learn more about the issue and get involved.
- Trainings/educational activities held or attended:
- Service/related events held or organized:
- Other:
Broader Serve 2.0 Integration on Campus
- Events/Meetings held or attended:
- Primary social media developed/utilized: The launch of our google mashup and Facebook app were slated to coincide with the launch of a new Cal Corps Public Service Center site (and redesigned webpage) that would serve as the public service portal for the whole UCB campus. Unfortunately, campus budget cuts are stalling this process, and we may have to launch the mashup on our existing site at http://publicservice.berkeley.edu
- We intend to expand the Educational Equity facebook app that we are developing through Serve 2.0 to other issue areas, so that we can funnel all issues-based campus news/events/opportunities to students across campus who are interested in the issue.
- Trainings/educational activities held or attended:
