Our Theme: #ConnectingDesireWithOpportunity This event embodies the essence of connecting desire with opportunity, showcasing the growth and potential within our community. Special Thanks to Our Program Partners! The primary goal of the Codorus Creek Summer Enrichment Program (CCSEP) is to expose York City students to a diverse array of careers through the vehicle of a real development project, The Codorus Creek Greenway. This significant public infrastructure project aims to revitalize the stretch of Codorus Creek in the heart of York. Led by YECA and supported by their consultant, Burchhart Horn, spanning from 2023 to 2026, with completion anticipated by 2027. This hands-on experience will not only allow students to witness the transformation of York City but also engage them in a tangible application of their education. By addressing the historically low representation of minority practitioners in architecture and engineering, particularly African Americans who constitute less than two-tenths of one percent of licensed architects in America, the CCSEP seeks to foster interest and participation in these fields. The program's objectives include increasing awareness of public projects, providing valuable work experience, facilitating professional networking, and showcasing the practical applications of academic learning through project-based activities. This initiative will also support students in visualizing their future careers, preparing them for post-secondary education, and contributing to the development of a more diverse and inclusive workforce. The Codorus Creek Improvement Project represents one of the greatest opportunities of a lifetime for many York County residents. [...]
