What is Berkeley Project?
Established in 2006, The Berkeley Project is the largest community service organization at UC Berkeley. Each semester, we organize Berkeley Project Day, in which we recruit over 2,000 volunteers to work alongside community members in beautifying Berkeley.
From working at elementary schools to planting trees, our volunteers devote a total of 12,000+ hours and save the City of Berkeley over $400,000 every year. Fully student run and not for profit, The Berkeley Project aims to strengthen the community we live in and foster a spirit of service that will inspire generations of participants. Join us for Berkeley Project Day as a site leader or as a volunteer!
