CIWI 2018 Impact Video
The following video highlights the 2018 CIWI program from the eyes and experience of the interns.
WE did it!!
In 2020, CIWI hit its first major milestone—delivering our first 100 interns (2012-2020), 100% Students of Color, with the vast majority first generation college students.
- CIWI called an audible and in 2020 we designed a virtual program
- CIWI delivered our largest summer program to date---(20+) interns
- Over 8 weeks, CIWI interns participated in over 30 events, in partnership with our 20+ guest speakers, over 100 hours of curriculum, homework, and USGBC/Green Associates study and practice tests
- Guest speakers included several SF-LBEs, including: Montez Group, Urban Fabrick and Modulus Consulting.
- We designed our curriculum to provide our interns with a solid footing into the Bay Area's housing and economic development markets and to provide an awareness of the numerous and diverse roles and responsibilities within A&E/Development/Construction.
As well, CIWI interns secured about 50+ hours of targeted Sustainability training, are now members of USGBC/Northern CA, and many of the CIWI interns took and passed the USGBC Green Associates exam!
