First off, we are forming groups to do the projects, so, Pls tell me and email me who you might want to have in your group... 3-4 people... pls use the next 4 days to come to some agreement on 1-2 possible projects you think you could work on as a team ...You will need to figure out a way to communicate---..pls bring the project idea(s) next week... \
Here is your HW--(you will be doing this solo... )
- 1. Please list 2-3 possible projects that you might be interested in pursuing. THEN, Please categorize the 3 possible projects you are interested in pursuing under the Opportunity Areas laid out below. You can adopt one of the projects that you saw tonight, you can modify it, or you can develop your own project. Your project might fit in multiple Opportunity Areas. That's completely fine. We have listed and defined the Opportunity Areas at the bottom of this email.

- Community members have public places to convene and interact. Community members are politically active and informed on the happenings of the city. Community members have access to resources (food, health, political knowledge, etc.) that will enable them to be an engaged member of the community.
- Unique Neighborhood Identities | Vibrant and Proud Communities
- Neighborhoods contain unique and distinguishable features. Community members feel a sense of pride for their community (keep this one in mind in relation to the stigma and stereotypes people have about South Hayward).
- Green and Resilient Environments | Healthy and Prepared Communities
- The community has access to nature (community gardens, creeks, trails, etc.). The environment is thriving and can resist the threat of climate change and other phenomenon. Community members are physically and mentally healthy. Community members are prepared for natural disasters and other phenomenon.
- Diverse Transportation Options | Active and Connected Communities
- The community has access to a variety of transportation options (bike paths, public transportation, pedestrian paths). Community members engage with one another and participate in and host community events (this one has a lot to do with infrastructure and how streets are designed so communities are physically connected).
- Diverse Housing Options | Stable and Rooted Communities
- The community has access to multiple housing options appropriate for their income. Community members feel connected to their community and feel like they belong to their neighborhood and city (this one has a lot to do with gentrification).
- 2. Identify existing assets in the community you can leverage to execute your project. You should refer to our map to identify assets you can use (https://hayward.maps.
arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/ index.html?appid= b2aecf95c3bd443ba2122a4ee825cd 1a). You can also use Yosso's "Whose Culture Has Capital Anyway." Yosso claims that many communities of color possess capitals (strengths/skills) that are often not acknowledged. She exemplifies six capitals (strengths/skills) people of color possess. You can consider these capitals as assets you could leverage for executing your projects.
