The purpose of the Berkeley Project is to build a legacy of service and a strong, sustainable partnership between the students of the University of California, Berkeley and the city and residents of Berkeley. To this end, the Berkeley Project holds a yearly event, called Berkeley Project Day, where thousands of Cal students unite on one day to fulfill the pressing needs of the community through a variety of service projects, all of which are within the City of Berkeley. Fully student operated and supported, the Berkeley Project not only provides crucial assistance to the public, but also aims to create a lasting culture of service among its participants.
