RE: In search of an organization and/or people to team up with that have experience in painting murals
Currently constructing a proposal right now to paint a mural for a local Jersey City elementary school (P.S. 11 Martin Luther King Jr). Coordinating young volunteers will be involved from local schools and within The International Institute of New Jersey www.iinj.org Americorps Program. However, we would like and appreciate the support of all ages. There will be restoration painting involved and your participation will push Hudson County's Department of Education and Superintendent to take up this exciting opportunity.
