Why We Love National Night Out

With the help of the teens of the MYSEP, we created a video featuring the kids of 808-812, as well as other members of the community, talking about why they love National Night Out. Answers ranged from cupcakes to community, and everything in between!

808 Recycles Gets Honored!

At last week's National Night Out, our very own 808 Recycles group was honored with a certificate from the city of Cambridge and Winn Residential in honor of the kids' work in promoting recycling around the 808-812 Community.

Representatives from the city included the mayor of Cambridge, Henrietta Davis. The kids were very proud, and it proved that hard work in raising awareness can pay off!

Great job, guys! Check out a video of the certificate presentation below.

New video: Stay Active!

Here at 808, we've tried to incorporate living a healthy lifestyle into our "808 Recycles" program, moving from just keeping the earth healthy to keeping the youth of 808 and 812 healthy too.

With that in mind, the teens of the Mayor's Summer Youth Employment Program (MSYEP) started a weekly newsletter, the 808 Health Smash, that talks about making better lifestyle choices and staying more active, and also created the video you'll see below.

The video, called "Stay Active, Stay Hydrated, and Stay Fit!" reminds kids to get off of the couch for a while and go out and play this summer. It was created, written, shot, and directed entirely by the MSYEP teens, and we think they did a great job!
