Hoban High School Students Work to Beautify RHP
Each summer, Hoban High School runs Justice Akron Ministries (JAM), a summer service retreat program for students. They connect students to various agencies in the Akron or greater Akron area. JAM participants volunteer with the agency as part of their 20-30 hours of service as part of their requirement for graduation.
- RHP park hosted 5 sophomores and 1 senior plus 2 parent volunteers for two 6 hour days. In that time they:
- Painted the Broadview Road entrance gate.
- Dug out grass near the Park Office, spread mulch, and filled in ruts in the lawn near the Broadview Road entrance.
- Assisted RJRD Maintenance Tech Chris Moore by digging and installing posts on the main road to Amity and near the Lodge.
- Removed stone and black fabric from the bridle trail near the power lines.
