Скачать или смотреть 2019 Renewal Awards winner The Compton Initiative

What started with a small group of residents eager to show love and unity throughout their community turned into a nonprofit that grew to thousands of volunteers of all ages.

The Compton Initiative was founded in 2006 with a mission to make a positive difference throughout its southern Los Angeles County community by painting homes, schools, and churches in partnership with individual volunteers and other organizations.

“We unify volunteers from all ages and backgrounds quarterly to create an opportunity for them to make a meaningful impact, together,” Jeudy Mom, director of The Compton Initiative, told The Renewal Project.

In April, The Compton Initiative was honored with a Renewal Award and received a $40,000 prize from The Atlantic and Allstate. The nonprofit was one of five organizations to win the annual prize. The others were: Acta Non Verba: Youth Urban Farm Project; Welcoming the Stranger; New Moms; and Adelante Mujeres. Read more about The Renewal Awards here: https://www.therenewalproject.com/ren...
