CityParks Learn Green Girls program will pause after the Spring 2024 season to enhance and better meet the needs of young New Yorkers. For more than two decades, this free program has offered NYC communities the opportunity to use their local parks as outdoor classrooms as well as help create positive change within their environment. During this time, we will work to further evolve our program and look at new ways to continue inspiring and nurturing the next generation of environmental stewards.
We’re thrilled to announce that our CityParks Green Girls is now available, free of charge, for educators nationwide. The curriculum, launched in Spring 2021 to a pilot group and now for use by educators nationwide, features the award-winning Green Girls STEM curriculum.
City Parks Foundation’s CityParks Green Girls program was named as the winner of the Inaugural Climate Change Learning Award for National Summer Learning Association’s (NSLA) 2020 Summer Learning Awards season. City Parks Foundation is one of four exemplary summer programs recognized for improving outcomes for children and youth and honored as models for the nation.
