June CARE Team Volunteer Events

To continue from last month, we’ve got a lot of gardening to do. Both our DuSable Campus Garden and Englewood Youth Against Lead Garden involve high school students and empty lots of land. We’ve started weeding at the EYAL Garden and discovered we have excellent soil (provided the lead test comes back negative). So if you enjoy gardening or just want to stop by and see the chaos (high school students + dirt), mosey on over. You can click any of the dates below the respective gardens:

This is Me. Who are You? Art Projects
We have a date for our “This is Me. Who are You?” art exhibit: It’s October 13th & 14th at the Green Lantern in Wicker Park !! More details forthcoming. Till then, come sit next to Dignity Diner patrons and spark their artistic sides (while you work on something yourself). This is a relaxed, creative atmosphere. But not really relaxed. More like hectic.
