BCSPA
The Berkeley Carroll Green Coalition and the BC Film Series present:
The Emmy Award winning
The Years of Living Dangerously: The Preacher's Daughter
Staring Ian Sommerhalder
Produced by BC parent Jesse Sweet
Tuesday, January 20th at 7pm
The Performance Space at 181 Lincoln Place
Drinks and snacks served. A discussion with the filmmaker AND the preacher's daughter will follow the one hour film.
The father: a megachurch preacher who doesn't believe in climate change. The daughter: an activist trying to shut down the local coal-fired power plant. The daughter's hope: to eventually convince her father that global warming is happening, and even, just possibly, see if he'll make it the topic of his next sermon.
In Preacher's Daughter, Correspondent Ian Somerhalder listens in on both sides of the evangelical community's debate over climate change.
Immediately following the one hour film Jesse Sweet and Anna Jane, the preacher's daughter, will discuss the filming process, her experiences as an activist, and the intersection of religion and environmentalism.

Side by Side
NEW Public Service Externship Program + Parent Volunteers Needed!
Side by Side is offering a Public Service Externship Program to provide Berkeley Carroll 9th-12th graders with an opportunity to learn more about public service. Externship positions will provide practical work experience, simply by pairing a BC student with a BC parent willing to mentor and allow the student to shadow them in their professional work environment. Side by Side's Public Service Externships will be offered as a one week volunteer experience (unpaid) from June 15-19, 2015. where a student "shadows" a Berkeley Carroll parent who works or volunteers with a government agency or non-profit organization.
We are looking for parents that work with a government agency or a nonprofit organization that could volunteer to serve as Parent Field Supervisors (one-week: 6/15/15-6/19/15). Parents that are on the Board of Directors of a nonprofit can also serve as a Parent Externship Coordinator and assign a Staff Field Supervisor.
There will be an Externship Info Session held for Upper School Students interested in public service at 181 Lincoln Place the week of 2/22/15 (date, time and room TBD).

Parent Field Supervisors Commitment/Forms Due 2/14/15.
