AmeriCorps Members at National Kick-Off


All 30 members of Rochester AmeriCorps, based at the Damon City Campus, traveled to New York City last week to participate in the national kick-off of the third annual AmeriCorps Week. Our group joined 1,500 other AmeriCorps members, senior volunteers, and youth to refurbish Thomas Jefferson Park in East Harlem. Under the theme “Getting Green Done,” projects included planting, mulching, painting, and distributing clean energy information and light bulbs to neighborhood residents. The opening ceremony included remarks by Governor Paterson and First Lady Michelle Paige Paterson.
