These students learn everything
they need to know about bringing

00:12.400 --> 00:15.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
their ideas to market...
including how to pitch

00:15.766 --> 00:16.966 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
to investors.

Kevin Posadas: The confidence
that pitching in in front of

00:21.833 --> 00:27.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
these large amounts of people
that gave me so much more than

00:27.466 --> 00:29.200 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
I could have ever imagined.

00:29.233 --> 00:32.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Christina: We'’ll also explore
the first Climate Change degree

00:32.466 --> 00:35.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
program offered at a community
college in Los Angeles... with

00:35.966 --> 00:40.233 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
a focus on the city'’s local
environment and activism.

00:40.266 --> 00:43.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Sarah Solis: Seeing Gen Z'’s
passion also about climate

00:44.000 --> 00:47.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
change, they're really, they're
starting a revolution.

00:47.566 --> 00:51.966 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
And I'm so excited for all of
the youth that are coming out

00:52.000 --> 00:53.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
and fighting for climate change.

00:53.533 --> 00:56.833 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Christina: And see how these
film students at Glendale

00:56.866 --> 01:00.200 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Community College continued to
produce short stories during

01:00.233 --> 01:03.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
the pandemic... working together
remotely to create films.

01:04.000 --> 01:08.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Geri Ulrey: We adapted, um, as
filmmakers do, and we found new

01:08.133 --> 01:10.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
ways to do what we needed to do.

Man: It's Wonderful.

02:10.566 --> 02:13.100 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
Kevin: Entrepreneurship is about
solving problems.

02:13.133 --> 02:17.733 align:left position:12.5% line:71% size:77.5%
And it's about, um, finding a
problem and finding solutions

02:17.766 --> 02:18.900 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
to that problem.

02:18.933 --> 02:21.866 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
And not only that, but in the
process of finding those

02:21.900 --> 02:23.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
solutions to problems
will arise.

02:23.866 --> 02:27.100 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Christina: Kevin Posadas knows
a few things about solving

02:27.133 --> 02:28.333 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
problems.

02:28.366 --> 02:31.200 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
He'’s the founder of a company
called Grean, which offers

02:31.233 --> 02:33.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
recycling services in the
Bay Area.

02:33.200 --> 02:36.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
It'’s a concept he developed
while taking entrepreneurship

02:36.600 --> 02:39.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
classes at City College of
San Francisco.

02:39.200 --> 02:41.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Kevin: What we do is, we provide
people with infrastructure, for

02:41.566 --> 02:44.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
them to collect their materials,
sort, their materials.

02:44.933 --> 02:49.266 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
And once they've reached a
minimum amount, one of our

02:49.300 --> 02:52.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
drivers comes by, we pick up the
materials and then we take him

02:52.600 --> 02:54.100 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
to the recycling center.

02:54.133 --> 02:57.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So I like to tell people we are
not a recycling company.

02:57.100 --> 03:02.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We are an environmental company,
so our focus is really on

03:02.400 --> 03:03.500 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
the environment.

03:03.533 --> 03:05.700 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Christina: Grean pays its
customers a percentage of

03:05.733 --> 03:07.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
the value of their beverage
containers.

03:08.000 --> 03:11.200 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
In turn, those recyclables are
kept out of the landfill.

03:11.233 --> 03:14.866 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Kevin had the idea before
enrolling at City College, but

03:14.900 --> 03:18.066 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
he says it blossomed into what
it is today because of the

03:18.100 --> 03:21.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
college'’s Center for
Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

03:21.133 --> 03:25.300 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
The Center was founded in 2018
by Vivian Faustino.

03:25.333 --> 03:28.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
She wanted community college
students to have the same access

03:28.900 --> 03:32.000 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
to venture capital and startup
funding as students at

03:32.033 --> 03:33.266 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
prominent universities.

03:33.300 --> 03:36.266 align:left position:12.5% line:71% size:77.5%
Vivian: They always say that,
oh, I could never be successful

03:36.300 --> 03:39.200 align:left position:17.5% line:71% size:72.5%
as an entrepreneur because
I am not from Harvard.

03:39.233 --> 03:41.433 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
I am not from Stanford.

03:41.466 --> 03:44.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Because they always think about
Google, Mark Zuckerberg and

03:44.733 --> 03:48.933 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Tesla and all of that coming
from all this big name

03:48.966 --> 03:49.966 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
universities.

03:50.000 --> 03:52.400 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
So it's, it's, it's
heartbreaking to feel that

03:52.433 --> 03:55.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
our students don't have the
kind of confidence.

03:55.533 --> 03:58.366 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Christina: The Center for
Entrepreneurship and Innovation

03:58.400 --> 04:00.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
is more than just
a business course.

04:00.066 --> 04:04.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Through workshops and lectures,
students learn everything they

04:04.066 --> 04:07.733 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
need to know about launching a
product or app.

04:07.766 --> 04:10.966 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
The Center covers topics like
finance, design thinking and

04:11.000 --> 04:12.933 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
intellectual property.

04:12.966 --> 04:16.966 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
But perhaps most valuable....
is the ability to network with

04:17.000 --> 04:21.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
investors and entrepreneurs....
people like Lauren Taylor,

04:21.033 --> 04:22.933 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
who has a marketing
and product development

04:22.966 --> 04:24.566 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
agency in the Bay Area.

04:24.600 --> 04:26.766 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
She'’s also an
entrepreneur-in-residence

04:26.800 --> 04:28.433 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
at the Center.

04:28.466 --> 04:31.100 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
Lauren: Networking is so
important, especially I think,

04:31.133 --> 04:33.200 align:left position:25% line:71% size:65%
um, in the Bay Area.

04:33.233 --> 04:37.633 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
Folks come to the Bay Area with
the, with the idea that, um,

04:37.666 --> 04:39.833 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
that anyone can make it.

04:39.866 --> 04:43.666 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
And anyone that has a great
idea, um, you know, can get a

04:43.700 --> 04:47.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
million dollars in seed funding
and be off to the races.

04:47.700 --> 04:51.300 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
And unfortunately it's so much
harder than that.

04:51.333 --> 04:54.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And so much of it relies on your
network and who can

04:54.400 --> 04:56.033 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
open doors for you.

04:56.066 --> 04:58.300 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Christina: One way the Center
connects students and industry

04:58.333 --> 05:00.833 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
professionals is
at pitch events.

05:00.866 --> 05:03.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Pitch event video: Hello good
afternoon and welcome everybody

05:03.966 --> 05:06.733 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
to City College of San Francisco

05:06.766 --> 05:09.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Christina: Prior to Covid, these
pitch events were held at the

05:09.866 --> 05:13.300 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
City College campus, with
investors or venture capitalists

05:13.333 --> 05:15.066 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
serving as judges.

05:15.100 --> 05:19.166 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Students get three minutes to
pitch their product, app, or

05:19.200 --> 05:20.366 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
business idea.

05:20.400 --> 05:22.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Pitch event video: We are a
vegan health coach and image

05:22.533 --> 05:26.500 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
consultant who have come
together to provide people with

05:26.533 --> 05:30.433 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
information about nutrition
and style.

05:30.466 --> 05:33.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Vivian: So things that they do,
number one, is to describe what

05:33.766 --> 05:35.866 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
is the problem that they would
like to solve.

05:35.900 --> 05:37.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
What are they passionate about?

05:37.733 --> 05:40.300 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
What is the big, why?
Right.

05:40.333 --> 05:42.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And then after that, they would
say, okay, this is the problem.

05:42.933 --> 05:45.100 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
This is the solution.

05:45.133 --> 05:46.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
pitch video: I came
up with an idea of a faster

05:46.933 --> 05:49.933 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and more convenient
way of paying restaurant bills,

05:49.966 --> 05:53.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
particularly if
within a group dining.

05:53.466 --> 05:56.633 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Vivian: So the purpose of this
is two-prong.

05:56.666 --> 06:01.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Not only to get funding, because
honestly their ideas are still

06:01.266 --> 06:05.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
still being developed, it's not
100% viable.

06:05.366 --> 06:10.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
But the pitch, this students,
are there to really test their

06:10.966 --> 06:14.133 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
ideas with the market who are
listening and watching

06:14.166 --> 06:15.333 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
their demo.

06:15.366 --> 06:18.133 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
They could get this feedback,
this valuable feedback and

06:18.166 --> 06:21.500 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
insight on how can they tweak
the product.

06:21.533 --> 06:24.100 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Lauren: We're really there to
support the entrepreneurs.

06:24.133 --> 06:27.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Everybody is coming to the table
with a really fantastic product

06:27.633 --> 06:30.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and idea, and what they need is
help kind of teasing out where

06:30.766 --> 06:32.866 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
the biggest opportunities are.

06:32.900 --> 06:35.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Christina: It'’s an intimidating
experience...

06:35.266 --> 06:37.166 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
but one that students
say teaches them

06:37.200 --> 06:38.766 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
invaluable lessons.

06:38.800 --> 06:42.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Kevin Posadas will never forget
his first pitch.

06:42.833 --> 06:45.400 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
" So I got a total ..."

06:45.433 --> 06:49.366 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Kevin: I had spent months,
literally months preparing

06:49.400 --> 06:51.466 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
this three-minute pitch.

06:51.500 --> 06:54.466 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Um, and it's incredible how
much one takes for just

06:54.500 --> 06:55.733 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
three minutes.

06:55.766 --> 06:59.366 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
And I felt ready, I felt like
when the time came, I would be

06:59.400 --> 07:02.700 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
able to, to present in a way
that would highlight my company

07:02.733 --> 07:06.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and make myself a great, but
when the time came, um,

07:06.900 --> 07:09.466 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
That it wasn't the case.

07:09.500 --> 07:11.900 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
And I completely froze,.

07:11.933 --> 07:17.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Lauren: And he was so nervous
and I, I feel like I remember

07:17.966 --> 07:21.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
like tears welling up in his
eyes, he was so nervous.

07:21.566 --> 07:26.233 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
And Kevin just delivered the
most incredible pitch.

07:26.266 --> 07:29.800 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
I mean, I still, like, I have
goosebumps...

07:29.833 --> 07:33.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I think by the end of the pitch,
there was like a

07:33.100 --> 07:35.233 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
standing ovation.

07:35.266 --> 07:37.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Christina: Kevin says that
nerve-wracking experience...

07:37.366 --> 07:40.233 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
motivated him to keep going.

07:40.266 --> 07:42.600 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
He went on to enter a national
pitch competition.

07:42.633 --> 07:46.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
This time, he spoke in front of
600 people...but delivered his

07:46.633 --> 07:49.733 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
pitch perfectly, coming home
with the third-place prize

07:49.766 --> 07:52.000 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
in the country.

07:52.033 --> 07:53.533 align:left position:12.5% line:71% size:77.5%
Kevin: It was one of the best
experiences in my life, and I

07:53.566 --> 07:57.500 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
owe it all completely to, to the
the Center for Entrepreneurship

07:57.533 --> 08:01.133 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
 
and Innovation at City College
for putting me into that,

08:01.166 --> 08:03.266 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
into that position.

08:03.300 --> 08:05.500 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Christina: When Covid hit, the
Center for Entrepreneurship

08:05.533 --> 08:09.300 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
moved all its workshops and
content online.

08:09.333 --> 08:12.633 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Ly: Thank you for joining us
today. This is defiantly the

08:12.666 --> 08:16.033 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
first, the first, time that
we are doing this virtually.

08:16.066 --> 08:17.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Christina: The same went for the
pitch event, which was held over

08:17.933 --> 08:20.366 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
Zoom in 2020.

08:20.400 --> 08:21.600 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
Pui: Hello everyone.

08:21.633 --> 08:25.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
My name is Pui San Tan, and I am
the founder of Workmate.

08:25.033 --> 08:28.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
An online, on demand, networking
platform.

08:28.366 --> 08:30.833 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Christina: Pui San Tan is a
student at the City College.

08:30.866 --> 08:34.000 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
She already has a bachelor'’s
degree from UC Davis and was

08:34.033 --> 08:36.766 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
working as an independent
consultant when her

08:36.800 --> 08:38.766 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
priorities changed.

08:38.800 --> 08:42.666 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
Pui: Last year when the pandemic
hit, uh, we had to work from

08:42.700 --> 08:45.966 align:left position:22.5% line:71% size:67.5%
home, but also I have
small children.

08:46.000 --> 08:49.600 align:left position:22.5% line:71% size:67.5%
 
So both of my children had to do
distance learning from home.

08:49.633 --> 08:55.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So it became very difficult for
me to, um, combine being

08:55.300 --> 09:01.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
full-time at home, but full-time
mom, and And so I really took

09:01.100 --> 09:05.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
this pandemic as that
opportunity, um, to try this

09:05.800 --> 09:07.433 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
entrepreneurship.

09:07.466 --> 09:09.933 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Christina: Pui San says she
missed having serendipitous

09:09.966 --> 09:12.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
conversations with other
professionals in her old

09:12.566 --> 09:13.700 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
coworking space.

09:13.733 --> 09:17.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
So, she came up with the idea
for Workmate - a way for

09:17.466 --> 09:20.766 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
independent workers to connect
in the remote working age.

09:20.800 --> 09:24.300 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Pui: You will be matched
instantly with another workmate

09:24.333 --> 09:27.033 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
who is online and matches
your objective.

09:27.066 --> 09:29.800 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Then it's just a matter of
connect and converse.

09:29.833 --> 09:31.733 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
It's just as simple as that.

09:31.766 --> 09:35.666 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Christina: Like Pui San, a
number of the students at the

09:35.700 --> 09:38.833 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Center already have a college
degree and work experience.

09:38.866 --> 09:41.633 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Many are immigrants whose
academic credentials did not

09:41.666 --> 09:42.800 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
transfer to America.

09:42.833 --> 09:47.100 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
But they all share common
desires: To create jobs for

09:47.133 --> 09:48.866 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
themselves, and better
the world.

09:48.900 --> 09:51.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Cathleen: Decolonize
will not only have a collection

09:51.466 --> 09:54.266 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
of free resources ranging from
black novels to indigenous

09:54.300 --> 09:57.766 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
poetry, immigrant experiences,
but it will also be a safe place

09:57.800 --> 09:59.800 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
to exchange ideas and connect
with people.

09:59.833 --> 10:02.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Christina: Leaders say moving
the Center online during Covid

10:02.966 --> 10:06.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
was challenging, but it also
presented opportunities for even

10:07.000 --> 10:09.000 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
more people to attend its
workshops.

10:09.033 --> 10:12.566 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
Vivian: Its mission really is to
make education accessible

10:12.600 --> 10:14.533 align:left position:32.5% line:71% size:57.5%
and inclusive.

10:14.566 --> 10:16.966 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
So with that, even though they
are not a student of

10:17.000 --> 10:19.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
City College, the workshops are
free for everyone.

10:19.600 --> 10:22.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And I thought that's really what
we meant by, you know, being a

10:22.100 --> 10:24.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
community college is to really
serve the community.

10:24.933 --> 10:28.866 align:left position:12.5% line:71% size:77.5%
Lauren: What we see nationally
in terms of the trends around

10:28.900 --> 10:32.766 align:left position:17.5% line:71% size:72.5%
entrepreneurship are that
immigrants are creating jobs

10:32.800 --> 10:36.300 align:left position:17.5% line:71% size:72.5%
 
and new businesses at four times
the rate of other Americans.

10:36.333 --> 10:39.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
We see that women of color are.

10:39.700 --> 10:42.900 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Uh, creating new businesses,
I think nine times the rate

10:42.933 --> 10:43.966 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
of other Americans.

10:44.000 --> 10:47.800 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
So there's this huge need and
huge opportunity.

10:47.833 --> 10:52.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And then this incredible gap and
resources and access to funds.

10:52.100 --> 10:56.133 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
And I think that that's one of
the biggest reasons that CCSF

10:56.166 --> 10:59.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
is such an important part of our
community because it's

10:59.666 --> 11:01.300 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
accessible to everyone.

11:01.333 --> 11:04.233 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Christina: For Pui San and
Kevin....the Center for

11:04.266 --> 11:07.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Entrepreneurship has helped them
realize their aspirations.

11:07.033 --> 11:11.400 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Pui: I learned that I really
enjoy entrepreneurship.

11:11.433 --> 11:15.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So I do hope to one day be able
to call myself an entrepreneur

11:15.133 --> 11:18.733 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and, um, get my idea out there
in the market.

11:18.766 --> 11:23.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Kevin: There are so many
students at community colleges

11:23.133 --> 11:28.933 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
right now who I'm sure have
ideas for, for companies that

11:28.966 --> 11:34.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
have potential to be great, but
don't know how to go about that.

11:34.500 --> 11:36.866 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
The Center for for
Entrepreneurship allowed me to,

11:36.900 --> 11:39.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
to dream in a way that I don't
think I could have ever, um,

11:39.966 --> 11:41.633 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
ever done without them.

we're talking about who gets to

matter if you're black,
indigenous people of color like

12:53.166 --> 12:55.466 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
birds are for everyone.
So we do talk about that.

12:55.500 --> 12:57.633 align:left position:27.5% line:71% size:62.5%
We don't just talk
about identifying birds,

12:57.666 --> 13:01.633 align:left position:15% line:71% size:75%

Um, so really this class is for
anyone who likes nature.

Our community college is
located in the western part of

14:10.400 --> 14:13.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
We wanted to create the
climate change degree at West

14:13.066 --> 14:17.600 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Los Angeles college because we
know that people of color and

14:17.633 --> 14:23.400 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
minoritized communities are
among the first impacted by

14:23.433 --> 14:27.400 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
climate change and among
the most significantly impacted

14:27.433 --> 14:31.500 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
by climate change. And we
wanted to help our students

14:31.533 --> 14:35.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
understand the complexity of the
climate crisis.

14:35.933 --> 14:39.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And we also wanted to uplift our
students so that they could

14:39.600 --> 14:43.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
become part of solutions to the
climate crisis.

15:08.566 --> 15:11.233 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
It'’s really a community effort
this semester, which has been

15:11.266 --> 15:12.566 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
really amazing.

15:12.600 --> 15:17.100 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
It really shows that people
really want to be a part

15:17.133 --> 15:18.466 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
of a community.

15:18.500 --> 15:22.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Our main thing is that we have a
campus garden, So every semester

15:22.133 --> 15:27.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
we plant and harvest vegetables,
organic vegetables only.

15:27.366 --> 15:33.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
And with the produce, we donate
it to the campus food bank.

15:33.033 --> 15:37.666 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
That's been such incredible
experience because I personally

15:37.700 --> 15:41.766 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
am not a gardener, but because
of the students and club

15:41.800 --> 15:43.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
members, we do have some
members that are,

15:43.566 --> 15:45.466 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
have just green thumbs.

15:45.500 --> 15:47.900 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
So they have been
able to teach us.

15:47.933 --> 15:50.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Jim: Alan Cooper'’s enjoyment of
outdoor life and camping sparked

15:50.733 --> 15:54.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
an interest in a possible career
as a park ranger.

15:54.200 --> 15:57.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
The Climate Change coursework at
West Los Angeles College

15:57.266 --> 16:00.200 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
added another dimension.

16:00.233 --> 16:02.233 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
Alan: I went to West LA with the
intention of eventually

16:02.266 --> 16:05.266 align:left position:15% line:71% size:75%
transferring into forestry.

16:05.300 --> 16:10.200 align:left position:15% line:71% size:75%
Then I took an environmental
science class on sort of a whim.

16:10.233 --> 16:13.033 align:left position:15% line:71% size:75%
 
It just kind of resonated with
me and you know, the more and

16:13.066 --> 16:15.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
more I learn about this topic,
the more and more I see that

16:15.966 --> 16:20.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
it's like an issue that we, as a
society won't, won't be

16:20.533 --> 16:21.966 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
able to ignore.

16:22.000 --> 16:25.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We'’re at a point where it's not
just our actions that can

16:25.466 --> 16:29.300 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
kill us all, but our inactions
as well.

16:29.333 --> 16:32.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And I think that that's
definitely something I kind of

16:32.466 --> 16:37.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
came to a full understanding and
appreciation of here at West.

16:37.766 --> 16:40.766 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Jim: West LA College says
fostering climate change career

16:40.800 --> 16:44.300 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
choices for their diverse
student population can

16:44.333 --> 16:46.666 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
directly benefit local
communities facing

16:46.700 --> 16:50.300 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
concerns of clean
coastal water, wild fire

16:50.333 --> 16:53.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
prevention, and diminishing
natural habitats.

16:53.600 --> 16:57.100 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
Jennifer: We know that as the
climate is changing, the oceans

16:57.133 --> 16:59.733 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
are being significantly
impacted.

16:59.766 --> 17:04.000 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
 
And so by taking field trips to
our local oceans, students can

17:04.033 --> 17:08.366 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
maybe appreciate this more and
think about the, the connections

17:08.400 --> 17:14.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that we have with each other and
with. The earth system and, um,

17:14.066 --> 17:17.633 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
nonhuman parts of, uh, our
ecosystems.

17:17.666 --> 17:20.500 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
You know, the city is not going
anywhere. We're not going to,

17:20.533 --> 17:23.033 align:left position:12.5% line:71% size:77.5%
it's going to keep on growing
and we want to make sure we're,

17:23.066 --> 17:25.900 align:left position:12.5% line:71% size:77.5%
 
we're providing habitat for the
animals.

17:25.933 --> 17:29.633 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
So we want to make sure people
have park access and they're

17:29.666 --> 17:33.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
knowledgeable about the animals
that we share LA with.

17:33.266 --> 17:36.966 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
Sarah: You can see how
communities of color are always

17:37.000 --> 17:38.700 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
subject to the brunt
of climate change.

17:38.733 --> 17:43.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Like pollution and freeways are
always built directly through

17:43.900 --> 17:47.666 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
poor neighborhoods.
So seeing how intertwined.

17:47.700 --> 17:52.566 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Social justice and racial
justice is with climate justice.

this degree is it empowers you

18:03.000 --> 18:07.466 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
in a way, it, it shows you
really like a thing to focus on

18:07.500 --> 18:10.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and a problem that needs fixing
in this world.

18:10.566 --> 18:12.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
That'’s what being an
environmentalist is about.

18:12.933 --> 18:17.533 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
You're one part activist, one

Our students are inspire me
every day and our students are

18:30.400 --> 18:33.366 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%

the climate crisis.

18:34.900 --> 18:37.766 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
We hope that all of these
opportunities will allow our

in front of it.

connections in the industry and
sharpen her technical skills.

First Assistant Camera.

22:57.333 --> 22:59.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
But it'’s the classes at Glendale

22:59.933 --> 23:03.733 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
to explore many different
aspects of filmmaking.

Cortney: In your first class,
you make your own film in,

23:13.300 --> 23:15.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and you go through
trial and error.

23:15.900 --> 23:19.800 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
So you start with the script,
you start with, um, learning

23:19.833 --> 23:24.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
basic things like overhead shot

And you can like put your input.

23:27.666 --> 23:29.400 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Like, I really want to be a
cinematographer.

23:29.433 --> 23:32.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I really want to be a director,
or I really want to do PD,

23:32.200 --> 23:34.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
I want to try these different

Deb: This teacher is kind of
looking down and she'’s got look

23:44.033 --> 23:47.400 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
space here, so we usually give
people look space here.

23:47.433 --> 23:48.966 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
So she'’s looking down
and to the right.

23:49.000 --> 23:50.700 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
And then we cut to

and a narrative film class at
Glendale.

23:55.933 --> 23:58.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Both Cortney and Lua were taking
her classes when the pandemic

23:58.733 --> 24:01.066 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
hit and classes moved online.

having an instructor on hand to

film making process...

24:06.733 --> 24:09.400 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
everyone was forced to adapt.

district, our college, we have a
college foundation.
