The Magnes is Recruiting High School Volunteers
The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life, one of the museums at UC Berkeley, is recruiting high school volunteers (including rising 9th graders) for the 2024/2025 school year to collaborate with each other and Magnes staff to plan “Teens Take the Magnes,” a program for high school students centered on Magnes exhibitions, including In Plain Sight: Jewish Arts and Lives in the Muslim World.
The time commitment will be 20-30+ hours over 7 months. Magnes staff are happy to confirm volunteer hours for students with a community service requirement at school.
This opportunity is open to all students in grades 9 to 12 in the 2024/2025 school year. Students interested in museums, history, and/or art and culture are encouraged to apply. Knowledge of or participation in Jewish life is not required.
We welcome applications from students in your school until Friday, September 6. Students and their families can learn more about the opportunity and apply online.
We invite everyone to follow the work of our Teens Take the Magnes Committee on Instagram at @magnesteens
Submissions are now open for Our Monologues!
They are open until September 27th. Monologues can be any story, poetry, or music you want to share, and they can be shared TOTALLY ANONYMOUSLY. Examples can be found on our website.
Please reach out to us with any questions!

16 & 17 year olds can Now Vote for their School Board in Oakland & Berkeley
The Alameda County Registrar of Voters is using California’s pre-registration system–the system that allows 16- and 17-year-olds to pre-register to vote in California as a whole–as the system to register 16- and 17-year-olds to vote in their local school board races in Oakland or Berkeley. Therefore, a resident of Oakland or Berkeley who is 16- or 17- years old and who is otherwise eligible must use California’s pre-registration system (https://registertovote.ca.gov) to register to vote as a “youth voter.” Any 16- or 17- year-old residing in Oakland or Berkeley who previously pre-registered to vote will be automatically registered as a youth voter.

Notification of Non-Discrimination Policy
The Berkeley Unified School District is committed to providing a hostile-free working and learning environment. The District prohibits discrimination, harassment, bullying, intimidation, and retaliation, based on actual or perceived race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity/expression, pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding/lactation status (related medical conditions), religion, color, national origin (including language restrictions and possession of a driver’s license (issued under Vehicle Code), ancestry, immigration status, physical or mental disability (including clinical depression and bipolar disorder, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, epilepsy, seizure disorder, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and heart attack), medical condition (cancer-related and genetic characteristics), military and veteran status, marital status, registered domestic partner status, age (40 and above), genetic information, political belief or affiliation (unless union related), a person’s association with a person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics, or any other basis protected by federal, state or local law, ordinance, or regulation in any program or activity it conducts or to which it provides significant assistance.
Discrimination is different treatment based on a protected characteristic in the context of an educational program, work or activity without a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason that interferes with or limits the individual’s ability to participate in or benefit from the services, activities, or privileges provided by the District or includes an adverse employment action.
Hostile environment harassment occurs when a target is subjected to unwelcome conduct based on a protected characteristic, which is both subjectively offensive to the target and would be offensive to a reasonable person of similar circumstances/characteristics and is sufficiently so severe, and so pervasive to interfere with or limit an individual’s ability to effectively work or to participate in or benefit from the services, activities, or opportunities offered by the District. Harassment may take many forms, including but not limited to, verbal remarks and name-calling, graphic and written statements, or any conduct that may be threatening or humiliating. Harassment based on any of the above protected categories is a form of unlawful discrimination and will not be tolerated by the District and can result in disciplinary action against the offending student or employee.
Upon witnessing an act of discrimination, harassment, bullying, intimidation, and retaliation, based on actual or perceived protected characteristics, school personnel are required to take immediate steps to intervene when it is safe to do so. Once a school/office has expressed notice or reason to know of such conduct, whether carried out by employees, students, or third parties, it should take immediate and appropriate steps to investigate, determine what occurred, take prompt and effective steps reasonably calculated to end the conduct, eliminate a hostile environment, if one has been created and prevent the conduct from occurring again. These steps should be taken regardless of whether an individual makes a complaint or asks the school/office to take action. Complaints are protected from retaliation. The District prohibits retaliation against any person who files a complaint or an appeal, reports instances of noncompliance, discrimination, harassment, bullying, and intimidation, or who participates in the complaint-filing or investigation process. This nondiscriminatory policy applies to all acts related to school activity or school attendance within any school/office under the jurisdiction of the Berkeley Unified School District.
For more information, or to file a complaint please contact:District Title IX Coordinator/Compliance Officer Berkeley Unified School District, 2020 Bonar Street, Room 117, Berkeley CA 94702 Phone: (510) 486-9338; Email: complaints@berkeley.net
