Happy AmeriCorps Week

  1. Updates

 

We want to thank our AmeriCorps members and recognize their service and commitment to their communities. During this year's Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, our AmeriCorps members partnered with Warren Lane Elementary School in Inglewood to engage in a day of play and beautification. Members repainted the playground which included two handball courts, a baseball diamond, five switch games and three basketball courts. In addition, AmeriCorps Members and volunteers assembled a quilt of painted squares to be hung on the playground as a mural. During the event, Junior Coaches lead games with all volunteers and even lead an impromptu dance party. We are so proud to have 17 dedicated members who are passionate about bringing the power of play to every kid and impacting our communities in Southern California!
