Broadway Heights Special Projects Program

The Broadway Heights Community Council Youth Leadership Team has been actively encouraging area youth to engage in community service projects throughout southeastern San Diego. This year the council has a new program that encourages youth to initiate an individual project that benefits his or her local community.

The BHCC Special Projects Program allows youth to develop, plan, and implement a program. Each month, one project will be recognized in the council's newsletter and the Youth Team's meeting and given an award.

In January, Justin Young was awarded $50 for his project to maintain the cleanliness of his street, Tiffin Avenue. In February, 8-year-old Kiara Sanders was awarded $50 for her efforts to beautify the Broadway Heights Community Welcome Sign. Click here to view the newsletter and details on Kiari's project.

Youth in Broadway Heights must complete the Project Participant form to be eligible. The form can be found here.

The CNC applauds the Broadway Heights Community Council and this effort to encourage youth involvement in Community Building.

CNC Connects Morse High School Seniors to Community Service

During the Fall 2009 semester, the CNC began connecting seniors at Morse High School to volunteer opportunities in southeastern San Diego. These students are required to do community service in order to graduate, so our Community Builders worked with the Senior Class Adviser, Ms. Kiyama, and as a result these seniors were involved with several community activities in November and December, including the Bay Terrace Community Clean-up. We will continue this connection into 2010, so if you are interested in youth participating and volunteering at your event this year, contact the CNC Community Builders immediately at 619-325-3580.
