Arbor Day community mural project in Seward
Youth and adults across the state, through church groups, youth-serving organizations, community groups, schools, and tribal groups are stepping up to provide service to their home communities. Alaska ICE is thankful for the opportunity to share information about and offer support for a number of these efforts through our youth-led service project funding awards.
Youth-led community service projects range from small- to large-scale efforts and the sheer range of projects thus far have been incredible: from building community gardens to painting an Elder’s house and from landscaping a school to outfitting a youth center. In each instance, young people and adults have worked together to give service to their community, which not only strengthens the community, but also develops assets in the youth.
