As part of CoreNet Global NYC’s Community Reinvestment Challenge, a team of Young Leaders recently volunteered their time and painting skills at New York Cares Day. The group joined more than 8,000 New Yorkers in a day of service to revitalize and improve public schools throughout all five boroughs. The Young Leaders were assigned to I.S 145Q in Queens where they designed and painted a “Student of the Month” mural to recognize students’ academic achievements.
“Our team did an excellent job, not only working together, but creating something that would inspire those middle-school kids,” said Young Leaders co-chair Kenny Rodriguez. “Together we completed one of the most vibrant projects New York Cares had seen in some time.’
