Culmore Cleanup Participants

Young people cleaning up their community and doing extraordinary things! In May, children in our Safe Youth Project, part of Second Story in the Community, joined families and community members to help clean up their neighborhood, Culmore. The day of service was part of Culmore Clean-Up.

Second Story is on the steering committee of Culmore Clean-Up, a project which is focused each year on beautifying and enlivening the Culmore community.
