PLAY ·2024 Grants ChallengeGreening Compton Initiative
This grant will support the "Greening Compton" initiative, aimed at planting trees in lower-income, minority, and disadvantaged communities within Compton. By increasing green spaces, the project seeks to enhance environmental quality, reduce urban heat islands, improve air quality, and foster social equity through community engagement and beautification efforts having volunteers in the tree planting. The initiative will support youth by providing economic advancement opportunities through a landscaping-related pre-apprenticeship program.
