OPPORTUNITY
Semifinalists who select to compete for a Community Service Fellowship are invited to submit proposals to join an on-going program or project that reflects this year's topic, Design Guided by Clients' Needs, and the specific content of their Essays. This is an exciting hands-on opportunity to further explore the application of the precepts of the social art of architecture.
Community Service Fellowship candidates are asked to submit a proposal for a specific plan of work in their local community during their univeristy or college’s summer break for 2022. The work must occur in the summer of 2022 (Northern Hemisphere schools), or in the winter of 2022 (Southern Hemisphere schools).The Community Service Fellowship provides a fixed stipend for participation in the program or project you join.
The requirements for the Community Service Fellowship Proposals are detailed on the following "To Enter" page. The Berkeley Prize Committee looks for both an understanding of the opportunity that is offered and an understanding of the possible ways in which the student's research into the current year's Prize topic might be furthered by this service opportunity.
The winning student(s) will be asked to write a report on their program that will be posted on the Berkeley Prize website. See the BP2021 Community Service Fellowship reports for examples of the projects.

 Easter Hill Village, Richmond, U.S.A., 1954. Demolished, 2004. "It was the most significant public effort to provide affordable permanent housing for many families displaced by demolition of temporary World War II housing. It was the first multi-unit residential development to combine the twin themes of the planned unit development with the individuation of units... and the care given to integrating a multi-unit residential development to its site." Historic American Buildings Survey, Library of Congress, U.S.A. (See: https://www.loc.gov/item/ca3350/)
 Richmond Village (formerly Easter Hill Village - see previous slide), California, U.S.A., 2008. "The goal for the …Richmond Village project was to turn 300 units of crime-ridden, run-down public housing into a vital neighborhood anchored by a community center and public open space. The development was originally built in 1954 and was a model of public housing until neglect, crime and poverty took over. The Richmond Housing Authority together with Richmond Village…residents collaborated to re-construct a vision of community. The vision included open/community space with mixed-income housing; 100% of the rental housing is affordable, with 70% allocated for public housing residents. The for-sale family homes have a mix of low, moderate and market-rate housing." (See: https://www.nibbi.com/projects/richmond-village/)
