| Icebreaker session at Leadership Conference hosted by Broward College On May 14th volunteers met up with us and our partnering agency Keep Broward Beautiful for a weekend Beach Sweep. Volunteers picked up litter and collected recyclables, in addition to passing out information to beach-goers on the new recyclable program that was started at the beach. Later on that day we hosted My AmeriCorps Story, a workshop that discussed the AmeriCorps program in depth and challenged attendees to get engaged this AmeriCorps Week and beyond. The event was a success! Current serving AmeriCorps members, alums, and attendees shared their stories about how the AmeriCorps program has impacted their life. We finished the weekend by joining our friends from HandsOn Miami, the AmeriCorps Alums- Miami Chapter, the Urban Guild Project and a team of volunteers and AmeriCorps members to create an urban paradise at Oleta River State Park. Volunteers were found planting native vegetation, mulching, and making new friends. The day ended with an amazing BBQ provided by the AmeriCorps Alums- Miami Chapter. |
