Alexandria will again join communities across the country in celebration of National Night Out on Tuesday, August 4. For those who have not experienced this event, it is a fun evening where over 30 neighborhoods around the City host activities, block parties, barbeques, etc. with the goal of preventing crime by building a sense of community.
Last year, a number of ACAP members visited neighborhoods and provided outreach regarding teen pregnancy prevention. We will partner with the Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition of Alexandria and the Gang Prevention Task Force, forming teams, and “covering the City” with messages about our work.
Responsibilities include:
- Meeting at City Hall on August 4 at 5:30 p.m., joining a team, and receiving neighborhood assignments
- Driving to assigned neighborhood events and interacting with neighbors (tell them about your role and involvement – talking points and flyers will be provided)
- Having fun!
The time commitment will be from approximately 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Please let me know by August 1 if you want to join us this year!
