What do you do with 1,400 teens when school is out?
On Friday, June 29 this question was answered when youth from the greater Vancouver and Portland areas came to Clark County to participate in a mass service project that included parks, homes.
These young people provided more than 5,500 hours of service, fanning out in groups of 50-300 to pre-assigned locations across the county, where they painted, weeded, sorted, cleaned, raked, planted, mowed and hammered.
