Program 1 [2020]
FRIENDS OF THE PARK -- PARK PRIDE'S SERVICES START WITH A FRIENDS OF THE PARK (FOP) GROUP, A COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION THAT WORKS TO IMPROVE ONE OR MORE PARKS. PARK PRIDE OFFERS A COMPREHENSIVE STRUCTURE PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, CONSULTATIONS AND COACHING, TOOLS, MATERIALS, TRAINING, DESIGN SERVICES, VOLUNTEERS, AND FUNDING, THROUGH WHICH FOP GROUPS CAN IMPROVE THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS. IN 2020, PARK PRIDE SUPPORTED 161 FOP GROUPS STEWARDING 213 PARKS THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF ATLANTA, UNINCORPORATED DEKALB COUNTY, CITY OF BROOKHAVEN, AND CITY OF TUCKER. THE PROGRAM WORKS TO BUILD INDIVIDUAL LEADERSHIP SKILLS AND COMMUNITY CAPACITY SO THAT RESIDENTS CAN CREATE A POSITIVE IMPACT IN THEIR COMMUNITY. PARK PRIDE ALSO CONNECTS FOP GROUPS WITH GOVERNMENT, BUSINESS, FOUNDATION, AND NONPROFIT PARTNERS TO INCREASE THE IMPACT FOP GROUPS HAVE IN THEIR PARKS AND ON ATLANTA.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$185.9KProgram 2 [2020]
