Community Service

In the city that i come from an was raised in community service projects are widely appreciated yet are rarely done. If i had a chance to do something to help the community there is nothing i would do more than raising money for neighborhoods like the one i grew up in to better there recreational facilities. Where i grew up crime rips through the streets like Michael Jackson ripping of one his shirts, althought this may sound funny crime is at an all time high with washington dc having one the highest murder rates in the whole country. How does this tie in with community service you ask? Well actually i am glad that you ask. If thewre where a better reacreational core, a better series of rec centers fot the young youth there would be a efficient way to keep many youngsters off of the street. In the neighborhood i grew up there is a recreational facility called the benning park rec center. Yes this center is efficient in keeping some children off the street but with some much needed upgradeit would boost the efficiency of this rec center 100 percent. If i could start a community service project this is what it would be first i would start off by raising money through coat drives and canned food drives which are very popular in inner city communities. Second I would ask the churches in the neighborhood to hold a series of cookouts and concerts where we would make money charging the community to enter. In a sense the community would be paying to rebuild the rec center themselves without even knowing it. This is the community service pproject I would do because here is nothing more that my community needs more than to keep young ones off the street.
