What are early action projects???
They are quick wins - projects that respond to the community planning process and can be achieved in less than six months. They aren't the final product, but they are an important first step toward getting there.
The community panel recently selected the following four projects for early action grant funding!
Colina Park World Cup: Imagine 80 Colina Park elementary school students learning the fundamentals of soccer by Colina Park teenagers. That's what's happening at Ibarra Elementary on weekday afternoons. Saturday's are game day!
Smart Start Fitness: Who thinks Martial Arts is about fighting? Not in Colina Park. Unity Tech Fitness is working with more than 50 Colina Park youth to teach fitness, nutrition, discipline and RESPECT through martial arts.
Light@Night: Can graffiti be a good thing? It can be if it is drawn with light. Light@Night is teaching Colina Park teens how to create light-based art that will be on display at events in Colina Park.
Crawford 3-D: This one's too complicated to describe. But Crawford High School students are developing science, technology, math and engineering skills as they design and FABRICATE 3-D models at the City Heights Fab Lab. Since we didn't do a good job at explaining this one, we included a picture. See, it's for real.
