The Ca$h for Tra$h program began on June 19, 2004. Civic associations clean up their neighborhoods and make a little cash for each bag that is filled with trash. The Civic associations get a group of volunteers together to clean up their neighborhoods. Volunteers are supplied with a T-shirt, gloves and specially marked trash bags. Each bag pays $5.00 each to the civic associations.

The program runs on the 3^rd Saturday of the month during January, March, May, September and November, on a “first come, first served basis”. Please complete the reservation form and fax the completed form to (954) 921-3390. Please check the date prior to completing the reservation form.

Civic Associations should contact their Neighborhood Resource Specialists, Dennis Lowe, Sharon Paxton, Matthew Digati or Brenda Samuels at (954) 921-3271 for further information and for scheduling.

SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAM (SYP):

The Summer Youth Program commenced in July 2004. Youths made a difference in their community by picking up trash in the Liberia Neighborhood. The impact of their participation made their neighborhood in the City of Hollywood a cleaner and nicer place to live. The youths were awarded with Community Service Hours for their participation. Additionally, movie passes were also awarded to all participants.

Beginning in 2005, the Summer Youth Program was enhanced by having youth assist the elderly, single parents and persons with disabilities by painting and landscaping their properties. Working together with other City Departments and local vendors, the Summer Youth Program has changed the lives of 12 Hollywood families.

Up to 50 students can participate in the program. Each youth must be a City of Hollywood resident, entering 9^th through 12^th grade of High School and be willing to participate in a two week program, consisting of half days during the week. Availability is on a “first come, first served” basis.

The highlight of the program is a trip to Disney or Universal Studios for a day of training in Community Leadership and fun too. Youth are awarded 40 Community Service hours (minimum Broward High School Requirement).

For additional information or a registration packet, please contact Donna Biederman at (954) 921-3381.
