Youthful Community Improvement
The Shaw EcoVillage EcoDesign Corps interns develop critical-thinking, job and leadership skills by designing and implementing innovative solutions to real-life community issues. The youths, ages 14 to 19, have been working on proposals for sustainable community improvement, including a community garden, a project to raise public awareness about homelessness, and demonstration projects to improve local water quality.
The interns will present their proposals on Thursday, Dec. 16, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church (1630 Vermont Ave. NW; Shaw Metro). For more information, contact Noel Petrie at 202/265-2019 or by e-mail.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
