Some of our students started naming the tree they helped plant,&#8221; said a Menlo staff member.<\/p>\n<p>KYCC works with over 500 students every year. KYCC&#8217;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<p>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 &#8220;green&#8221; building.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you are a resident of Los Angeles city and interested in receiving a free street tree, please click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityplants.org\/street-trees-for-your-home-application\/\">here<\/a>.
