Painting Preparations at YWCA Clark County! (age 18+) *MLK 2014*
Join us in honoring the legacy of Dr. King through meaningful service to our community: "Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve."
-- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
YWCA Clark County’s mission is to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. YWCA Clark County serves more than 11,000 people each year who are victims of domestic violence, homelessness, sexual assault, child abuse and neglect, and oppression, as well as youth in foster care and women who are incarcerated. Our programs provide the tools and support to build self-esteem, foster positive life choices, and change lives. YWCA celebrates diversity, respects differences, and recognizes the dignity of each individual. We cooperate as a team to achieve a shared vision, believe and live our mission, and serve as leaders in providing quality and innovative service in a caring, compassionate environment.
Project Description
Removing wall décor, taping around doorways, around cabinets, acoustical ceilings and windows. Some moving of desks, file cabinets, clearing off misc boxes of office supplies, and possibly beginning to paint offices using cutting brushes (for trim) and paint rollers for walls. For those that are taping the upper walls and doing the “cutting in” work near the ceilings, you need to be able to tolerate heights while working on a ladder. Prior painting experience preferred.
