Koreatown Youth and Community Center

Join KYCC to clean up our neighborhood and make it more livable for our community members. We can't do it alone and need your help! Event Location: Each event will meet at a different location. Please check your shift to find the meeting address for the event you have signed up for. As we are constantly scouting locations, some addresses will be updated closer to the date of the shift. All K-town Beautiful events will be held in the Koreatown or Westlake neighborhoods. Parking: Street parking only. As always, public transit and carpooling is always encouraged. Registration: ALL volunteers must register in advance, regardless of age. Any volunteers under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a supervising adult for the duration of the event. Sign up by scrolling to the bottom of this page and clicking "Volunteer" - please note this button will say "Fulfilled" when the event is full. Every year, KYCC removes thousands of bags of trash from our neighborhood to improve the quality of life for our residents, keeping trash out of our oceans and building a better Los Angeles. At this event, volunteers will work in small teams to beautify a designated part of our community. All tools and supplies are provided. 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 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!
