Projects

So far we've completed two service projects in our time here in Denver. The first was a project where we filled in a playground with mulch to provide a ground surface for the playground. It took us about six hours to fill the playground entirely. Our team used pitch forks rakes and wheel barrels to create a ten inch think layer of mulch across the whole playground. The work was a bit tedious at times but it needed to be done. After completion we all found the project to be very rewarding and we found out how well we worked as a team. The best part of the project was a little boy who lived across the street. He literally watched us out his window the entire time and stuck his head out the door as we were leaving to wave good bye.

The other project that we helped complete was a trail through the Denver city park. The entire Americorps campus worked along side about 200 volunteers to level out the trail material and complete the trail. The work wasn't too hard and we finished quickly with so many people on the job. After we completed our individual sections we all gathered back at the park pond where we enjoyed live music, food, and an address from the mayor.
