Generations Park

In my community we have a park that has a basketball court. There's two swings, that are not in good condition. There is plenty of land to have play accerssories for children. We have a committee in whom are willing to work to improve and repair our park located on Park St. We want the park to be fenced in, landscaped, equipment for all children (sandboxes, swings, see-saws, climbing dome), and we also want tables and seating. We want our community and our children to take pride in this endeavor.

I have always wanted to be a giving part of my community. In church, I always learned that we should get out and do something, but we never went anywhere. I wanted to volunteer at the local children's hospital, garden, clean up the parks, and more but never knew how to get started.

Personalized Trash Cans

One day I was walking through the streets of Boston and decided I should blow my nose. Nobody wants to carry around a tissue full of snot in their pockets so the next logical action was to find a trash can to slam dunk my tissue in. After five blocks I didn't see a single trash can. At this point many people would throw it on the ground but I was determined to find a trash can even if it took me ten blocks. After my fourteenth block I finally found a trash can. This is when it hit me.

Focused on the most basic concepts of citizenship, democracy, and public work, Public Achievement draws on the talents and desires of ordinary people to build a better world and to create a different kind of politics.

Hi, I am a sophomore and I am working on my Girl Scout Gold Award Project. I am running a week long camp at my local YMCA to educate elementary students about animals and animal welfare. We will be doing a lot of community service activities in this. I will inspire the kids to take action, while allowing them to have fun with these animals. We will be running many fundraising activities which will be donated to our local animal shelter.

Hedinger Park

Some school mates of mine once said that the city I live in should be burned down and re-built from scratch. While that is not what this project is about, it can help lessen the negative view that my city is faced with. The Hedinger Park Project is a small step to something that would hopefully turn larger. All I want to do is, with the help of the communtiy, build a park on a currently empty lot across the cities Artist District.

I wanted to do something pretty meaningful for my Eagle Scout project. Our Scout Troop, Denver Area Council Troop 556, works closely with Denver Mountain Parks, of Morrison, Colorado, to provide some important service to keep parks, trails, and recreation areas in good condition and taken care of.

Brookville Skate Park

BrookvilleSkatePark — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 16:24:09 -0500

Our town(Brookville,IN.) is in need of a safe place for people to skate board. Business owners do not allow skate boarding in the parking lots or sidewalks. Also the town police are busy telling the skateboarders they can not skateboard in public areas. One church will let them skate in their parking lot. They have also formed a group to raise awareness for the need of a skate park in our area.

I want to start a nonprofit organization based on community beautification through the planting of flowers and trees, putting up gates, cutting grass and cleaning up trash in areas that have lots of potential, but are over looked because of the area. I also want to have a program for the youth of the ages of 5-18, in which there will be teaching of the alphabet, mathematics's, reading, and developing good character and manners.

Visit or help out at a national park

Visit or help out at a national park

One major reason why animals are becoming endangered is because their homes are being destroyed. National parks aim to preserve land and save the habitats of countless species. Visit and appreciate the beauty of these parks, or volunteer and help one!
