The Global Social Innovation Initiative at Berkeley is a newly formed organization that seeks to develop solutions to social issues relating to human welfare. Each academic year, members develop and implement a project focused on a social issue based on a theme: Public Health, Environmental Sustainability, Poverty Reduction, Gender Equality, or Education. Before executing a project, members will conduct research about the chosen topic, collaborate on project designs, and perform testing trials on the product. All members will be involved in all phases of each project and will have the opportunity to implement the project on a wider scale. Members will be serving the community at large while realizing the potential they have to impact and change issues confronting society. This year's topic is energy poverty and we are currently discussing project ideas. There are other chapters at other universities we can collaborate with. We are currently looking for new officers and members. For more information, please see http://www.theprojectinspire.org/ or email any questions to thegsiinitiativeatberkeley@gmail.com.
