We are an interdisciplinary organization on the UC Santa Cruz campus using technology for social justice. In this program, we provide a 3 series course that equips undergraduate students with the skills and knowledge to research, coordinate, and implement projects addressing today’s most pressing social justice issues in solidarity with local and global community partners. From gentrification to climate justice, we are supporting empathetic and strategic leaders for today.
This academic year, we have 77 students enrolled in our project introductory course and 29 fellows, both of which are the largest cohorts in the program’s history. These fellows are a highly diverse group of students, over 70% of fellows are BIPOC and/or female or nonbinary identifying who are not only learning technology skills, but teaching technology skills to other students and to community members locally and globally.
These technological and project skills are taught with our peer-2-peer near-2-peer learning model by Everett Fellows. These are students that have completed the class series, implemented a project, and are now mentoring current students so the cycle continues. Learn more about our past projects here.
We are changing the way undergraduate students learn and offer something unique in the world of higher education. We are empowering students to leverage their passions and apply them to social impact work. In addition, students develop various professional and interpersonal skills in which they are able to apply even after graduating where they can continue to implement change for social good in a variety of different fields.
We need your support so we can continue to grow and supply our current Fellows and students with the resources to implement more projects that address social and systemic challenges for the global community.
Your donation to the Everett Program will not only benefit students with the proper staffing and technical support, but it will also help uplift community partners locally and globally.
