Harrisburg, South Allison Hill
Urban Youth Education Program

Located along the banks of the Susquehanna, The City of Harrisburg has evolved from a Native American settlement into Pennsylvania's capital. The city has become nationally known for it urban revitalization initiatives.

Interns in Harrisburg will contribute to the city's revitalization initiative by designing and running a youth education program in Allison Hill. The project will be supervised by the Community Action Commission and will partner with The Catholic Worker House and various other community organizations. The partnership will engage approximately 15 to 20 youth between the ages of 8 and 13. The objective of the program is twofold: 1) to teach youth about the importance of greening and community by organizing small greening projects, and 2) to beautify the community with small greening projects.
