Calling all multilingual speakers
Use your superpower, we need you!! Being a King Ambassadors is a unique opportunity to help others, and learn about other cultures and the world beyond Berkeley.
Details:
We’ll meet for 2-3 lunches to get oriented and create our “language bank” (big list of what everyone speaks). Then, when a new multilingual student arrives, you’d be called on to help give a tour in their home language.

Restorative Justice (RJ) Leaders
This club is perfect for students who want to CREATE and/or LEAD awesome classroom presentations or make videos about Social Issues. You can be behind the scenes or in the spotlight. We want your ideas of how to share this information to the other students at King.
This club is great for students who want to run school events and build school spirit. Bring your ideas! There will be a Leadership Council for each grade level.
This group is great for students who are interested in seeing justice in our discipline culture, are empathetic, can understand multiple perspectives, have fair judgement and want to support classmates on making better choices.
