On May 4, 2019, Shine City Project volunteered with Club Christ! Founded by Evan Hartsell in 2004, Club Christ is a non-profit organization that provides tutoring and faith-based mentoring for youth who are living in impoverished areas in Las Vegas. With four learning centers based in apartment complexes around Las Vegas, Club Christ is able make a direct impact in the neighborhoods where students are living and provide them accessible after-school education for success. They believe in the importance of building strong relationships with their students and being positive role models in order to help them achieve their dreams of attending college and becoming leaders of the future.
On this Saturday afternoon, Club Christ held their Ladies Tea fundraising event which helps to benefit their free after-school programs for youth. With many dirty serving platters, plates, teacups, and teapots from the event, help was needed in the kitchen to wash these dirty dishes. Shine City Project, represented by thirteen total volunteers including three volunteers from Generation Peace Academy, was able to accomplish the task and help pack away these items for future events. Although our contribution was small, we were grateful to be able to serve such an amazing organization!
