This week has been another eventful one for The Americorps Urban Safety Project. With the help of enthusiastic volunteers, we boarded 16 houses this week, and cleaned as many lots. The adventure began on Earth Day , April 22. Together with Clearcorps, Gateway Communities initiative , and more than twenty volunteers, we boarded four vacant houses and assisted in beautifying Belmont Street one Detroit's north end.
On Friday and Saturday (4/26&27) we collaborated with Build On in order to involve the city's youth involved in boarding up twelve houses on and beautifying property on Lasalle, Euclid, and Blaine streets. Over one hundred eager participants, assisted in this massive effort, rightly called Global Youth Service Day.
