RAs Clean Up Neighborhood Trail
August 26, 2009
As a part of their resident assistant (RA) training, 89 Georgetown RAs took to a local neighborhood trail on Aug. 21 for a service project spanning three miles along the popular foot and bike path known as the Capital Crescent Trail.
Throughout the academic year the university’s RAs are charged with providing community service opportunities for each of their floors. This marks the first year the RA training has combined a community service element in its curriculum.
“In our training, we talked a lot about social justice and community service,” said sophomore Taryn McDonnell (C’12), a Village A RA. “It’s nice to get outside and put that into action.”
Year-round tens of thousands of hikers, bikers and runners visit the Capital Crescent Trail, an 11-mile pathway that extends from the Georgetown waterfront to Silver Spring, Md.
