Power Bay Area Coordinators#
POWER – Bay Area is a mentoring program and workshop series for Bay Area community college students interested in the physical sciences. POWER intends to support women and students from other marginalized genders, but we welcome participation from anyone who feels they would benefit.
The program is organized by graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from the departments of Astronomy, Chemistry, Earth & Planetary Sciences, and Physics at UC Berkeley.
Current community college students are paired with a mentor with whom they will meet approximately monthly during the academic year. In addition, we host a series of workshops and community building events.

Coordinators join one of the following teams:
Workshop Team: organizes a fall and spring retreat for POWER members, focusing on networking and resources for transfer students
Mentee Recruitment Team
Mentor Recruitment Team
Development Team: handles the budget, funding, and reimbursements
The whole coordinator team typically meets every other week during the academic year, and each team meets as needed throughout the year.
