BP Day 2006: The Results

Berkeley Project began this year as a giant, one-day service event held on Saturday, November 11th. Over 1000 students gathered from all over Cal to work together with our community partners at 43 service project sites all over the City of Berkeley. The day was a huge success. Students, clad in their brown BP shirts and bright orange safety vests, engaged in projects ranging from Downtown clean-ups and fire prevention in the Oakland Hills, to refurbishing the Berkeley Free Clinic and Alzheimer’s Services of the East Bay center, among others. For a complete list of this year’s projects please see the Project List for 2006. After this first annual BP Day, we received overwhelmingly positive feedback from Cal students and community partners alike. Many students indicated that though formerly uninvolved they have now taken significant interest in future service activities, while our community partners have expressed great interest in cooperating in similar efforts next year.
