Post-pandemic, what approaches are being used to address youth violence in parks? To mitigate this issue, park officials are leveraging technology, media, and art to better engage and program for the youth in our communities.
This Peer Conversation will explore youth programs and solutions that prioritize their expression, well-being, and professional development. Discussion leaders will share how they have reimagined youth spaces and activities in parks to focus on technology, media, and the arts. They will discuss additional services such as free meals, no-cost programs, youth employment, and on-site youth workers. Attendees are encouraged to share innovative ways they are connecting, engaging, and supporting the youth they serve, specifically focusing on how technology can be used as a tool for engagement.
