Description:
Energy Express is a six-week summer enrichment program promoting the school success of rural children in low-income communities. The program consists of 48 children, six-AmeriCorps mentors, one-Vista member, and fivemini-mentors. The mentors complete a community service project. All volunteers then complete a group project, which includes trash pick-up, mulching, planting and painting to beautify the community. All projects are tied into books, which the children have read during the summer.
