WorkBank Clean-up Project

The Olmsted Landscape Academy, a project of Workbank, Inc. is helping Pope Park while people help themselves by getting valuable job skills training. Pope Park was the first site chosen for this new skills training initiative, and the crew has been busy with weeding, underbrush clearing and trash removal in the Bankside Grove area of the park. WorkBank helps people during transitional periods in their lives by providing job skills training, resume development and hospitality training.
