Chicago INDO-US Lions Club and Illinois youth unite for Environmental Awareness Drive
In a dynamic show of community and environmental responsibility, the Chicago INDO-US Lions Club, in collaboration with Illinois schools, including Leyden High School, recently held an Environmental Awareness Drive on October 26, 2024. As shared by Hina Trivedi in an interview with IndoUS Tribune, the event united young volunteers from across the state, including both typically-developing students and students with special needs, in their commitment to a cleaner, greener Illinois.
This initiative offered hands-on opportunities for youth to foster environmental consciousness and community pride. Organized teams took on specific tasks, such as:
- Tree Planting: Adding greenery to enhance local ecosystems.
- Litter Collection: Cleaning streets, football fields, and school grounds.
- Recycling Drives: Sorting and reusing materials to reduce waste.
- Yard Clean-Up: Assisting senior residents with yard maintenance.
This impactful day underscores the Chicago INDO-US Lions Club’s dedication to youth empowerment and environmental stewardship. The club is already planning the next Environmental Awareness Drive in 2025 to broaden its community impact.
“We’re thankful to the students and community members who came together to make this event a success,” a club representative shared. “By involving our youth, we’re building a generation of environmentally conscious citizens.”
The Chicago INDO-US Lions Club invites new volunteers and partners eager to join this mission of creating a greener, healthier Illinois. For more information on future events, please contact the club.
