The Amberlea Neighborhood is in West Phoenix 91st Ave to 83rd and Thomas to McDowell. The Amberlea Block Watch was formed to bring the community together around the common goal of reducing crime, and improving quality of life for it residents. Kent Jones is president of the BW and his job is to write grants, attend meetings, and organize community events. Besides holding monthly meetings and putting out a crime prevention newsletter, we have through grants, and fight back funds installed many speed humps, street lights, and made many improvements to Desert Star Park. We have also formed lasting partnerships throughout West Phoenix, and take a very proactive approach to blight and safety issues. The "Smiley Crew" is the youth component of the Amberlea Block Watch. The Smiley Crew was formed by the children of Kent Jones a few years ago when they expressed frustration with the way kids looked at graffiti as some thing cool, and acceptable. They wanted to show adults and other kids that kids do care about their community and decided the way they could do something about it would be clean up graffiti. Greens Keeper is their number one sponsor providing transportation, shirts, trees, and furnishing meals and refreshments to the kids while they do their work. Eventually the Smiley Crew swelled to over 200 kids as members. On two of their more organized paint-outs they had over a hundred kids show up at a time. Over the past few years they collectively volunteered many thousands of hours. In the process they were recognized with Certificates of Achievement by then Governor Janet Napolitano. In 2006 they won, Taking It To The Streets Contest in the category of "Making Phoenix a Better Place to Live" for District 7. In 2007 they were recognized in front of Phoenix City Council by NSD with a Partnership Award for their work cleaning and removing graffiti, picking up trash and planting trees. And in 2007 they received an "Educating Excellence Award" from Maryvale Revitalization Corporation.
