We Will Go Education
Arts Room Remodel
Project Description:
First Year Active Members Eligible
We Will Go’s Education Department is housed in the historic YMCA building, originally built in the 1940s. After years of being abandoned and in disrepair, the Art Room in the Education Department is outdated, cluttered, and worn, and is not ideal for the students that are served every day. These students come from low-income families, some of whom come from difficult circumstances, and they deserve a safe, inspiring place to learn and grow. For this project, volunteers will assist with painting, organizing, and decorating the space to make it bright, welcoming, and child friendly.
