THE PROJECT

COLLABORATING FOR CARDOZOWASHINGTON DC

This project is funded by a new education centered

community development initiative of the Capital One

Foundation. 21CSF and SHAPPE are piloting this work

in three DC public high schools, including Cardozo.

21CSF and SHAPPE are working to support staff and

community members at Cardozo high school with

educational facility and grounds planning, particularly

their campus greening and with helping to plan and

develop a parent/community resource center.
