On Monday, June 14th Parc Smith, American YouthWorks’ CEO, accepted the Impact Austin Community Partners Grant along with AYW’s Board President Margarine Beaman and Austin Parks Foundation Executive Director Charlie McCabe. Impact Austin representatives presented the awards to five recipients of the $105,000 grant that will be used around Austin in areas of culture, education, environment, family, and health and wellness.
American YouthWorks, in partnership with the Austin Parks Foundation and Hill Country Conservancy, will use the funding to establish a care crew for the Barton Creek Greenbelt. Beginning in January 2011, the E-corps crew will evaluate the 8 mile trail and surrounding landscape and commence several projects to repair the damage. These projects will provide young adults with an opportunity to gain experience in the realm of green jobs as well as increase public awareness about environmental issues.
Just wasting some free time on Stumbledupon and I found your article . Not typically what I like to learn about, but it was certainly worth my time. Thanks.
