Learn leadership, project management, logistics, and marketing skills while you work on a project that makes a difference in the community! This group started to address the needs that arose from COVID-19, but it will continue to tackle the needs in our community even after the pandemic is over. Past projects include: virtual learning for elementary school students at Ohlone Elementary School, a one-stop website for community resources- especially for the COVID crisis, managing social media to market a fundraiser to help undocumented families, bring awareness to farmworkers as essential workers and advocate for farmworker rights.  

Additional Information: Currently, youth in NESTcorps are working on 3 different projects that focus on social issues regarding public health, mental health, and poverty within our local community. Youth are currently conducting surveys and interviews to gather the perspective of our community. Join us this Summer as we use this data to think of practical solutions to the social issues listed above. Bring your enthusiasm and passion to make a difference! We will assign tasks and responsibilities based on your experience and willingness to learn.

You can ask for community service hours for your work.

Making an idea come to life is a science and an art that anyone can master. You can develop the skills needed to be able to do that with your own projects and projects that require a team. A little time management, goal setting, team management and planning is all you need and you can start off by coming to this meetup.
