Today CYLA put our core value of “Service to a cause greater than self” to work as @cyla_lace led our 1st ever virtual service day with @capitalgroup! Capital Group employees and their families painted leaves with messages of growth, creativity, and self-care on them, which will later be combined and be part of a Wisdom Tree installation at an @laschools campus. Thank you to our Associates Board Co-Chair and Director of Investment Operations at Capital Group, Kimberley Monasterio, for playing a big part in making today happen. We can’t wait for our students to return to campus and see the beautiful mural that was designed today. Way to be innovative and find a way to bring service to life virtually team! #StartStrong
