G4G Boston + BLA Courtyard Beautification Phase 2 | July 18, 2024

Volunteer With Us for Phase 2 of the Beautification Project at Boston Latin Academy

G4G Boston is joining the folks at BLA to continue the beautification project of their school courtyard. This is phase 2 of 3 of the project where we will help them turn the courtyard from drab to fab!

The phase 2 project will include painting, power washing courtyard tiles/gazebo and external building graffiti, assembling new picnic tables and if time allows, a little gardening work to clear beds in the front of the school!

BLA will also be recruiting students from the school, including the GSA (Gender and Sexuality Alliance) to work alongside us! Join us to make this space a beautiful place to work and socialize for students in Boston Public Schools!
