Mission Statement
Partnerships for Parks helps New Yorkers work together to make neighborhood parks thrive. We strengthen our diverse, growing network of dedicated park volunteers and groups by creating opportunities for them to celebrate their parks and accomplishments, access resources, become more effective leaders in their communities, and work with government to affect decisions about their parks.
Description
Partnerships for Parks is a joint program of City Parks Foundation and the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. We believe that active and involved communities are essential to vibrant parks and neighborhoods and to a healthy city.
We help connect volunteers and community groups to eachother, and offer resources and support to help groups improve their neighborhood parks through programming, volunteer service, advocacy, and other initiatives.
We also faciliate opportunities for groups of volunteers from businesses, schools, or civic organizations to participate in service projects in NYC parks.
