Each year, City Year Kansas City partners with a local school or community organization for a full-day physical service event. Volunteers gather to paint inspirational murals throughout the building to create a positive environment for learning. This year we will all work together to create an inspirational set of murals to be displayed at Garfield Elementary School. We have adapted our signature event to take place in the comfort of your home, while still creating a transformational impact in our community.
