What is the Community Involvement Team?
The Community Involvement Team is a place of engaged learning. Team members are involved with a semester long work project with a community partner while simultaneously participating in important conversations around the field of community organizing. As a team, we have participated in the Oakland Strikes, shown up to Hoover Elementary School, and are wrapping up our planning of the Hoover Community Earth Day Festival.
Team Lead!
Jed Lee
Jed Lee is a third-year majoring in Society in Environment with a concentration in Justice and Sustainability and is double minoring in Global Poverty and Practice and City Planning. Jed works for the Student Environmental Resource Center as a Community Organizer, getting students involved in local movements and marches. Jed also has been actively involved in the Students of Color Environmental Collective during their time at UC Berkeley, where they participated in SCEC’s #EnvironmentalismSoWhite campaign, spearheaded the creation of SCEC’s Mentorship Program, and organized the Students of Color Environmental Conference in early February. Jed’s experience with student organizing and their field of study leaves them with a lot to say about environmental, climate, and development justice. All of this has shaped their view on community organizing and is conveyed through this membership team!
