Started in 2004, Berkeley Green Campus is a student-run internship program that works to increase campus sustainability by bridging the gap that exists between students and institutional energy costs.

Interns work to save energy on campus by increasing general awareness, incorporating energy conservation and efficiency into course curricula, and implementing projects targeting energy use, purchasing decisions, and operational changes.

Green Campus is overseen and funded by the Alliance to Save Energy and UC Berkeley’s Residential and Student Service Program s. We would also like to acknowledge the additional financial support we’ve received from Bears Breaking Boundaries, the Chancellors’ Advisory Committee on Sustainability (CACS), and The Green initiative Fund (TGIF).
