SitemapThe Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation teamed up with local groups to make the city a little bit cleaner.
Horizon Academy young scholars, teachers and mentors walked the streets to clean up parts of Youngstown's south side.
The effort coincides with Worldwide Youth Service Day and also to bring a positive meaningful message to the city.
“We've just been going up and down the streets, cleaning up tires and trash and they've been boarding up houses,” said Scott Bohyer, a social studies teacher & intervention specialist at Horizon Science Academy.
Students at Youngstown State University also volunteered with the community project through Greeks in the Streets, a YSU Greek Life community service project.
“Each person needs to do about 18 service hours a semester,” said Gina Mancini, President of Order of Omega, a Greek Life National Honor Society at YSU.
Fraternity and sorority members were also picking up trash at Mill Creek MetroParks.
