What do these organizations have in common?
Thanks to our AmeriCorps funding, Central Dallas Ministries has been able to place members (the number noted parenthetically) at each location listed above for the summer.
These bright young men and women will be assisting in all sorts of community building endeavors while earning a modest living stipend and an educational award.
In addition to these 113 members, CDM has an additional 32 full and part-time members who are working at our locations throughout the year.
AmeriCorps, CDM style, is working in some amazing and very creative ways all across our community!
I'm grateful to our director, Keven Vicknair for the leadership she provides this wonderful team of dedicated community developers!
This morning at 9:00 a.m. we swear in our summer members in a ceremony at the headquarters of Clean South Dallas! It will be/was a moving and inspirational moment. All week these dedicated young people have been involved in intensive training. Their work this summer will make our city better and the experience will prepare them for lives of making a big difference. I am so proud we are involved at such a grassroots level.
Such refreshing stuff!
