National Youth Service Day
Youth
participants from the National Urban Coalition for Unity and Peace, Inc.
(N.U.C.U.P.) took part in leading a community beautification project called
“Keeping Our Community Beautiful.” The event took place on April 5 at Martel
Homes in East Point, a suburb of metro Atlanta.
N.U.C.U.P. youth, in collaboration with East Point’s operation Weed and Seed
initiative, focused their efforts on community beautification for the residents
of Martel Homes. Some residents will received yard beautifications done by the
young people enrolled in the N.U.C.U.P. after-school program. “We are
participating in this effort in collaboration with the Tri-County National Youth
Service Day Collaborative with Cobb, Dekalb, and Fulton counties,” stated James
Lewis, N.U.C.U.P. founder and president. “This spring break project gave our
students an opportunity to give back to their community, Lewis added.
The beautifications consisted primarily of planting flowers for the more senior
and elderly residents. All the flowers and tools for the project were donated by
several metro area Home Depot stores working in conjunction with Lewis. The
youth workers were treated to a trip to Sweetwater Creek State Park and a pizza
party following the event.
