Break Through – Community Outreach Project

On March 28-29, more than 70 Treasure Valley high school students participated in Break Through with the Original Gangster’s Academy in Nampa, a local alternative spring break project organized by United Way of Treasure Valley. The students worked to develop a vacant lot that serves as part of the OGA’s campus into a space that beautifies the neighborhood and fosters a sense of community. The project was a huge success thanks to all who participated and our many community sponsors! See you all next year for Break Through 2009.
