Volunteer at the Sylvester Broome Empowerment Village with the Genesee County Spartans

Project Description

Sylvester Broome Empowerment Village (SBEV) provides afterschool programing Monday – Thursday. SBEV is in need of your help to make sure their space is utilized to the best of its ability. On Saturday, February 22, volunteers will help with a variety of activities to make spaces ready for children. A fitness room is in need of organization and cleaning that will include putting together spinning bikes. A video game room needs to be set up which would include connecting up game systems and organizing the space. A kids room could use help by installing a tv on the wall, cleaning, and organizing. Many rooms throughout the building are utilized so much every week by children, that they require deep cleaning such as mopping, dusting, window cleaning, re-organizing, and helping de-clutter items that have lost their usefulness.

We will partner with current MSU students on this day.
