On Saturday, April 2nd, Students from Youngstown State University and members of AmeriCorps NCCC Team Maple 3 worked together to board up and clean up 20 vacant homes on Glenaven Avenue in the Fosterville neighborhood on Youngstown's South Side.
A tractor trailer of brush and two dumpsters full of of trash and debris were removed from the neighborhood. Over 600 illegally dumped tires were collected from the lawns and garages of these vacant homes. The event was planned and coordinated by AmeriCorps VISTAs Sarah Conkle and Anika Jacobs. AmeriCorps VISTA Frank Elling also assisted with volunteer recruitment and coordination for the event.
