Giving Back

Seattle’s Leadership Committee – a group of energetic students dedicated to building student leadership and positive change within and beyond the Summer Search community – began their commitment with Seattle’s Adopt-A-Street program by picking up trash and stenciling messages on water drains on 24th Ave S in Seattle’s Rainier Valley neighborhood. By signing up with Adopt-A-Street, the LC is committing to cleaning up this street four times a year for at least two years, and they are thrilled to be giving back to their community in such a way!
