The South Franklin Neighborhood is a low-income neighborhood in South Provo. With a mixed population of all kinds of residents, the neighborhood has a lot of assets, although it unfortunately has spent years in the shadow of past problems. But thanks to the work of The Boulders management, community members, and volunteers, that negative image will soon be a thing of the past.
The new South Franklin Community Center at The Boulders is up and running and growing! Programs and activities include: English as a second language, tutoring, health classes, playgroups, dance classes, Institute, Family Home Evening, and an addiction recovery class. More programs and classes are in the works! The South Franklin Neighborhood is coming alive. Neighbors are attending classes, improving their lives with other neighbors. More and more people are getting involved and being empowered by doing something new and positive in their lives. This community center is helping individuals and the community as a whole!

AmeriCorpsWeek
AmeriCorps*VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) members nationwide participated in various service projects for their communities for AmeriCorps Week (May 9-16). Utah County VISTAs organized a hygiene drive. We were able to collect 110 lbs worth of hygiene items outside of the Springville WalMart, 98lbs from Lindon, 115lbs from Orem, and Five Guys burgers & Fries donated $100 to the cause as well! All proceeds were donated to the Community Action Food Bank in Provo.
