Park Youth Committee Resolution Presentation at Modesto City Council

  • Modesto City Hall, Council Chambers 1010 10th Street Modesto, CA, 95354 United States (map)

Join us next Tuesday, May 7, at 5:30 PM, as the Park Youth Committee (PYC) presents their newly completed Resolution for Equitable Parks and Protective & Healthy Environments.

The May 7th City Council Meeting may be historic; if passed, the Park Youth Committee's Resolution would be a milestone achievement for youth advocacy and park functioning for all of Modesto’s residents. PYC is a youth-led coalition funded by All Children Thrive and supported by the Tuolumne River Trust—the Committee champions safe and equitable park access and recreation for Modesto residents. 

The PYC has worked in deep collaboration to develop a formal resolution solidifying the City of Modesto's commitment to their parks. The resolution is set to ensure parks operate with easily accessible amenities, infrastructures, and programs that benefit cognitive development, mental health, and community well-being; Park Ranger programs that increase community-safety; and citizen-informed participation for ongoing park projects and initiatives.

Developed through on-the-ground community data collection, neighborhood surveys, PYC visioning meetings, and collaborative decision-making processes, this resolution is the end result of years of community listening. Needs were heard and then transformed into a plan for actionable change.

Be a part of this actionable change with us and stand allied with emerging youth leaders!

No need to RSVP; meet us at City Hall!
