WORKSITE INFORMATION
Greensboro has been known for being on
the forefront of issues involving racial and ethnic
equality, sometimes resulting in nationally known events.
The town was a stop on the
Underground Railroad,
and on
February 1,
1960,
four black college
students
from
North Carolina
Agricultural and Technical College
sat down at an all-white
Woolworth's
lunch counter, and refused to leave when they were denied
service. CHWC joins several community based volunteer
efforts in serving those in need.
Greensboro has an excellent
mix of traditional work sites (painting, yard work,
building rehab) and social agencies. Most sites are
within 15 minutes of St. Paul's and we have one site that
is far away (45 minutes) but that is perfect for a bus of
50.
