Youth Night

jose_510 — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 00:21:44 -0600

We opened up The After Spot at the West Berkeley Senior Center every Thursday from 5:00 p.m.- 9:00 p.m. It was a response to the parents concerns about the youth of Berkeley not having a place to be instead of wandering the streets. There have been a lot of killings in Berkeley due to gang violence and teenagers not having a place to go after school. We chose the Senior Center because they have pool tables, internet access and it was a convenient location since a lot of teenagers of color live in West Berkeley. There is also free tutoring by students from UC Berkeley.

How to recycle your technotrash and E-waste

Cans and bottles are the only things that can be recycled, right? WRONG. That outdated cell phone that’s been sitting in your drawer for months or that old videogame that you never play – they can both be recycled! If you’ve got techno-trash lying around your house, now’s the time to take action and make sure that it doesn’t go to waste!
