Neftaly: Unlocking the Potential of Park-Based Programs to Enhance Civic Engagement Among Students
Neftaly believes in the power of parks not only as spaces for recreation and learning, but also as platforms for nurturing civic engagement among students. Through park-based programs, young people gain hands-on experience in community service, environmental stewardship, and public participation.
Initiatives such as youth-led clean-up projects, sustainability campaigns, citizen science, and student advisory groups encourage active involvement in local issues. These programs help students develop leadership skills, a sense of responsibility, and a deeper understanding of how they can positively impact their communities.
By engaging students in real-world challenges and decision-making, Neftaly is cultivating informed, empowered citizens who are ready to shape a more sustainable and inclusive future.
