The Problem

We saw a forgotten, vandalized park in Kansas City.

Plan of Action

The culmination of our National Youth Service Day project will be a community celebration. We will be inviting the members of the park’s surrounding neighborhood to participate in a barbeque and kickball tournament. The benefits of this celebration are twofold: the youth will be rewarded for all of their planning and hard work while providing a showcase of their efforts for the community, and it will also serve as an unofficial ribbon cutting ceremony so the neighborhood will be able to see the park in a new, revitalized light.
