Grandmother's 1998 Vision Now Thrives Under Granddaughter's Leadership

We spotlight Lena Young Green, who founded the Tampa Heights Junior Civic Association in 1998. This initiative fosters deep community bonds and offers extensive programs for youth. Now led by her granddaughter Nyla, the organization continues to thrive, providing after-school and summer programs, garden projects, and parent nights to wrap around a child's entire life. Witness how this leadership has sparked significant community engagement and personal successes among participants.
