LAFAYETTE RESERVOIR PLAYGROUND PROJECT
 The
Julia Burke Foundation joined the cities of Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda,
for the Lafayette Reservoir Project. It took a community to design and
build the new playground at the Lafayette Reservoir. View the photos
below to see the results of the community working together.
MENTORING BOOK PROJECT
The Foundation has funded a project supporting research by faculty and
students of the University of Wisconsin, for a book to be written for
the general public to encourage informal mentoring between adults and
children. Uncles and aunts, neighbors, coaches, piano teachers and others
can do this informal mentoring. Through this book, adults would learn
about the informal mentoring process, why mentoring is important, and
ways that informal mentoring can be done. In addition, parents will
get information on why it is important to encourage others to be involved
with their children. The idea behind this book is to support the involvement
of many others (besides parents) in helping children develop into strong
and healthy adults.
