Project Re-Generation is a non profit which strives to eliminate teenage after school idleness in Bed-Stuy and similar communities through educational programs.

Founded in 2001 by Barnabas Shakur after a friend’s life sentence to a maximum security prison, PRG sets out to give teens value and self worth.

So what does this have to do with a home blog? I’m getting to that! For the homeowner, PRG offers member services for as low as $3.99 per week. Foot Soldiers will sweep, shovel snow and do front yard maintenance, depending on which package is chosen.

Seems like a win/win situation to me. Please check out their website for more info on this fabulous organization.
