Latino Mission Society

Since: 2011
The first of its kind – a project partner site turned carpool site. We are expanding our youth program at LMS to run all summer, so volunteers will now have the option of meeting there daily. They can stay and play with the kids there or shuttle to a nearby mural or garden.
Pinpoint: Inside the building or on the front stoop.
