On Tuesday, March 12, AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) team Oak 3 arrived in Youngstown to complete neighborhood improvement projects with YNDC and other partners.
Members of YNDC's team, leaders of multiple neighborhood organizations, and faith leaders from ACTION participated in a seven-day, intensive training on leadership and neighborhood organizing hosted by Gamaliel, a nationally-renowned community organizing network.
The J. Ford Crandall Memorial Foundation awarded YNDC a grant for $14,477 to acquire a 14-foot, high-walled dump trailer that will be hitched to our dump truck and used to clean up and haul overgrowth and debris from vacant properties in Youngstown’s neighborhoods.
