This Saturday we will participate in an environmental service project to help restore Shepherd Parkway - one of DC’s most beautiful, but neglected, wooded areas. To volunteer for this project, email the Service Team at DCYP.Service@gmail.com.
It's September, and for DCYP that means that it is time to start planning for the 2012 Halloween Carnival. The first step in this process is to form the planning committee! Read below for details on the carnival and how to volunteer to serve on the committee.
Have a great week! Ashley
