Workshop

Empowering the Community Through Authentic Engagement

Note: This event is at capacity, and we are no longer accepting registrations.

Parks serve urban residents of every age, race, and background, so meaningful engagement is essential to build park systems that meet community needs. But engagement can mean different things to different park professionals, from gathering input for park plans to co-creating designs or programs and empowering communities to steward their local parks.

In our upcoming workshop, we’ll explore what effective engagement looks like in practice. This session will be interactive, with presentations on innovative community engagement work and conversations with peers. You’ll take home a robust curriculum that you can refer to in your engagement work. Join us to learn actionable strategies for forming more authentic relationships and centering community voices in your work.
