Arts Education Partnership Day of Service
April 11, 2010

On Sunday morning, April 11, 2010, Arts Education Partnership will be hosting a day of service with the Anacostia Watershed Society. The Anacostia Watershed Society was founded in 1989 in order to protect and restore the Anacostia River and its watershed communities by cleaning the water, recovering the shores, and honoring the heritage.

Their vision is to make the Anacostia River and its tributaries swimmable and fishable, in keeping with the Clean Water Act, for the health and enjoyment of everyone in the community. Community involvement is critical to achieving this vision and AWS seeks win-win solutions through strong partnerships and coalitions, with all parts of the community, government, and other stakeholders. Core to their work is reaching out to, educating and engaging the next generation of decision-makers, our youth.

Day of Service volunteers will leave from the Omni Shoreham Hotel lobby on Sunday morning and return there by early afternoon. Lunch will be provided. If you are interested in participating in The Arts Give Back event or have any questions, please contact Sarah Scott.
