Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, the Alameda County Deputy Sheriffs’ Activities League will engage community members and business owners to revitalize a blighted urban strip of central Ashland. Youth artists mentored by professional teaching artists will design and produce signage and street art that creates a compelling, culturally authentic visual identity for East 14th St., boosting the social and cultural capital of a long-neglected low-income neighborhood.
Organization Summary
DSAL was founded as a traditional activities league in 2004, when there were alarmingly few positive options for recreation or activities for Eden-area kids after school. As we connected with youth and families, we realized the need to address deeper issues, like unemployment, lack of investment in the unincorporated areas, and social and political disconnection, and we began to broaden our scope to include community-led economic empowerment initiatives, education and leadership programs, and creative placemaking. Our core programs and services include:
Sports and Recreation
*Soccer
*Boxing
*Basketball
*Fitness
*Dance
*Drumline
Creative Placemaking/Community and Enterprise Development
*Community Murals/Neighborhood Makeover Team
*Dig Deep Farms
*Eden Night Live
*Art++ (which we’re looking to fortify and expand through this grant)
Education, Civic Engagement and Leadership
*The World As It Could Be (at Arroyo High School)
*Talk to a Cop
*ACSO Explorers
*Community Groups
