Jean Quan speaks at the East Oakland Boxing Association green jobs training graduation ceremony that took place on Saturday, November 21, 2009, located at 816 98th Avenue in deep East Oakland. EOBA with members of Dig Cooperative unveiled a model site for Water Efficiency, Harvesting and Re-Use. (EOBA) Youth interns worked with Dig Coop on a new 21st century model for appropriate water management with the completion of a gray-water washbasin system, rainwater catchment tank and a rain-garden landscape renovation. This sustainable water efficiency system represents the inaugural green capital and green job project the Oakland Redevelopment Agency is supporting through the new Green Works Development (GWD) Program. In August, through an Oakland Redevelopment Agency grant, EOBA hired DIG Cooperative, an East Bay based ecological design/build firm to run the 3.5-month green job training program in which the youth interns learned and utilized essential skills such as plumbing, landscaping and Permaculture design principles. www.eoba.org. www.dig.coop

About Me
The Mission of First Voice Media is to engage in media activism through community development and creative empowerment. Our mission is rooted in our responsibility to build the capacity of underrepresented communities in initiating grassroots social change. We seek to use our resources and our histories to document authentic expressions of our past, present, and future.
HISTORY
First Voice Media is an Oakland-based, community-building organization which provides hands-on training in media arts and new technology. Our organization has been built on the legacy of the KPFA Apprenticeship Program, a 25-year old training program born out of the struggles of women and people of color to gain access to broadcast media production. We work in partnership with Pacifica community radio station KPFA 94.1FM and other community media outlets, both locally and nationally. We have recently expanded our programs to include digital storytelling projects, audio and video production, community events coverage, and online blogging. An interactive webportal featuring webcast, podcasts, RSS newsfeeds and community-created content is being developed. These new programs enable us to broaden our impact and increase our relevancy in this new era of social networking and emerging technology.
