Committees

  • External Affairs

    External Affairs organizes the logistics of Berkeley Project Day, helps fundraise, plans the BP Day before and after events, reaches out to campus organizations, and helps choose the BP Day theme, working a little with every other team along the way.

  • Finance

    Finance feeds volunteers and pays for supplies by fundraising, applying to grants, and reaching out to local businesses and campus organizations. The team manages reimbursements and allocates funding to the other committees so every dollar is accounted for.

  • Site Planning

    Site Planning finds and sets up every BP Day site. Using past site lists and new research, the team contacts community organizers and city workers about projects, then records the details for the rest of the core team.
