Mission Statement
The Compton Initiative exists to partner with other entities (organizations, clubs, schools, business, community residents) to bring restoration and hope to the community of Compton. The Compton Initiative is a 40 year commitment that includes a thousand acts of service (one day at a time), that will assist in the transformation of the community of Compton.
Description
Our primary work consists of painting the exterior of homes, schools, and other buildings in the city of Compton. We also do minor construction i.e. replacing rotting wood, doors and windows, as well as yard work and tree trimming. Our volunteers do not need to have any prior experience in any of this work, but just need to come with an open heart and the willingness to serve the community. We supply all the volunteers with the materials and equipment needed and have directors and leaders overseeing each project. Our workdays are on Saturdays and last from 7am til noon. We provide breakfast and lunch for all the volunteers.
