Greetings!

"I looked out the back window this morning and saw a group of kids cleaning up the alley behind our house. I was so grateful that I went out and met them and thanked them. Our alley was in dire need of a makeover. They told me about ECM and I just wanted to send a thank you note to you as well. I think teaching our youth the value of volunteer work is one of the best investments of our and their time."  

- La Alma/Lincoln Park resident

 

In the past couple of weeks, hundreds of youth have participated in ECM projects as a great way to learn the importance of serving in their community.  If you want to join an ECM project this month so you also have an opportunity to serve, we would love to have you join us!
