Seniors in our school only have one privilege; they can drive to school. Once past the parking lot, a freshman is the same as a senior; we want to change this by creating a new space for seniors to enjoy as strictly a senior privilege. There is a gazebo at the edge of a pond on the one side of our campus just outside the cafeteria; this gazebo is currently not finished and seems to be in rough shape. Classes before us have tried their best to work with the space and material already there, but all have failed; we won’t.

I want to clean up El Dorado County by utilzing teams of teenagers picking up garbage and recycling along the sides of roads throughout the county.

I joined Americorps*NCCC in hopes of making a difference in my world, and especially my country after I had just graduated High School and wanted to spend my time contributing to the community through working with Habitat for Humanity. During this project I helped build 2 duplex homes -Wasco, and Borthwick - for families that were on the brink of/or were homeless. One home, for example, is going to belong to a 11 person family and the other home is going to a single mother, her 2 kids and a nephew.

Goals:
-Find an unused plot in a low-income urban environment and transform it by planting a healthy diverse garden, where the food grown can be sold for almost nearly free to community members.
-Provide youth the opportunity to grow and harvest their own plot and/or have a designated area for creating a mural on the surrounding walls that will promote social justice, peace, and/or cultural understanding.
-Providing an encouraging, positive, and creating environment for youth and staff.
-Providing teachers and staff with materials/resources necessary to successfully educate their students

When I went inside a furniture store in Fairfield, Maine, I found myself a great deal that had nothing to do with the price of a chair or a couch. The building was built in 1900, designed by Amos Gerald (name change from Fitzgerald). It was called 'The Gerald', a hotel considered the most majestic of it's time. It has hand carved wood banisters, stain glass windows, hand painted walls and crafted ceiling supports. The Renaissance style paintings smile at me from the ceiling and walls of the dining room, showing me this building was build with love and care.
