AT&T and City Year Team Up to Give Miami School a Facelift

As part of National Volunteer Month celebrations, about 100 AT&T employees completed a beautification project at Kelsey L. Pharr Elementary School in Miami on April 18. City Year, an education organization that helps students and schools succeed, coordinated the project for AT&T.

The AT&T volunteers spent their day at the N.W. 46th Street school:

• painting more than 20 murals themed around inspirational quotes, school pride/school logos and school pillars for success; the murals – ranging in size from 2’x3’ to 80’x8’ – will span the entire school campus;
• painting the teacher’s lounge;
• building benches;
• and creating banners with motivational messaging for the cafeteria and teacher’s lounge

"AT&T employees are committed to serving their communities across the country,” said Joe York, president of AT&T Florida. “We are thrilled to partner with City Year’s Care Force team to help transform schools and neighborhoods into brighter, more vibrant spaces for all.”

The Miami AT&T Day of Service is just one of many marquee volunteer events with City Year’s Care Force team happening nationwide and engaging hundreds of AT&T employees.

"We are excited to partner with AT&T to engage employees in high-impact service days to create more welcoming environments for students in communities across the country," said City Year Co-Founder and CEO Michael Brown.
