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.
