On March 20, 2019, 27 youth volunteers planted and watered 11 new trees in the front lawn of the Menlo Family Apartments<\/a> as part of the Menlo Beautification Project. Student volunteers from KYCC’s Elementary Tutorial Program (ETP)<\/a> and Advancing Youth through Community Empowerment (AYCE) learned about\u00a0KYCC’s Environmental Services program, tree planting and maintenance. \u201cThe event was a nice break from the usual routine and the kids really took pride in helping out. Some of our students started naming the tree they helped plant,\u00bb said a Menlo staff member.<\/p>\n

KYCC works with over 500 students every year. KYCC’s ETP program provides academic support, group enrichment actives and life skills workshops for students to grow in self-confidence and build healthy relationships with peers. AYCE is an after school program for high school students from the Koreatown and Pico-Union neighborhoods that meets weekly to discuss real-life issues such as drug and alcohol use, relationships and family issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two years ago, Menlo Family Apartments planted apple trees and xeriscaped the front lawn. Located on the Koreatown and Pico-Union border of Los Angeles, the building houses nearly 300 residents and is a certified \u00abgreen\u00bb building.\u00a0<\/p>\n
