Río Hondo Community College named Clean California 'Clean Community' after volunteer campus effort
Summary
A group of about 50 volunteers and Colicorp student projects helped Río Hondo Community College earn a Clean California "Clean Community" designation, officials said. The designation is held by about 45 communities statewide and recognizes sustained anti-littering efforts.
Tania Martín, a reporter for Spectrum Noticias, reported that the efforts of roughly 50 volunteers helped Río Hondo Community College earn a Clean California "Clean Community" designation. "El trabajo de 50 voluntarios, como Noelia, ha logrado que el Colegio Comunitario Río Hondo recibiera la designación de Comunidad Limpia de California," the segment said.
A volunteer who spoke about the project told the reporter it mattered to the community: "Significa mucho porque nos como da mucho orgullo saber que estamos haciendo un effort para ayudar a la comunidad." The designation recognizes community-led work to keep public spaces clean and signals broader participation in the state Clean California initiative.
According to the report, only 45 communities in California have received this recognition. The segment said communities must satisfy multiple criteria to be eligible and that Río Hondo met the necessary requirements to qualify. Authorities quoted in the broadcast said the recognition will be used as an example statewide as the Clean California program seeks more youth involvement and continued cleanup efforts in coming months.
