K-Town Beautiful (Host Your Own Cleanup Event!)

Koreatown Youth and Community Center

As part of KYCC's K-Town Beautiful campaign to spruce up the neighborhood, we're launching a new way for our community members to pitch in - by leading your own event! You provide the date, time, location and volunteer and we'll make sure you have all the tools and supplies you need to make our community sparkle. We can't do it alone and need your help! As an event leader, you will be the point of contact on behalf of your group with KYCC. KYCC will work with you to schedule a cleanup event and provide you with all the tools (we'll need them back afterwards though!) to beautify our community, and we'll also pick up your full trash bags at the end of the event. Event leaders must be at least 18 years of age and your event must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance. In order to start the planning process, please follow the steps below: 1. Signing Up: You can sign up to request tools and supplies here (https://bit.ly/KYCCbloom), but please note that if you’d like to partner with KYCC, the location and council district needs to align with KYCC’s service boundaries, which includes all of Koreatown. Based on your selection, the request will be routed to the appropriate agency. 2. Event Confirmation: If your event is within the KYCC service area, we will reach out and confirm all the details of your request. 3. Tool Pick Up: We will coordinate the tool pickup while also providing all the necessary supplies and logistical support—at no cost! 4. Lead your Event: Show up at your designated location, beautify and have fun! We’ll pick up the trash after your event ends. Impact: Did you know? • Neighborhood beautification builds community pride and ownership and can improve the quality of life of the residents. When a person has a good quality of life, they are happier and relieved of many stressors related to their safety and well-being. • Neighborhood beautification can help attract new business, providing convenient local shopping and services, jobs to neighborhood residents, and contributing to street life and economic development. • Overall, community beautification is important because it makes a statement: someone cares about this place. Please remind your volunteers to wear comfortable clothes they don’t mind getting a little dirty, close-toed shoes, and bring sun protection and a water bottle. For questions, please reach out to Angelic Perez at aperez@kyccla.org or (213) 365-7400 Ext. 5415.

Neighborhood cleanliness is one of the most frequent asks of our community members. Koreatown is one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the nation and with so many people, we have that much more to clean up! This event is part of a pilot effort to develop sustainable, ongoing and community driven beautification efforts.

For questions, please reach out to Angelic Perez at aperez@kyccla.org or (213) 365-7400 Ext. 5415.

Please be sure to wear comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a little dirty, close-toed shoes, bring sun protection and a water bottle and be ready to make some change!

If you can no longer host your event, please notify us at least 48 hours before your event date.
