Partnerships for Parks - Goal Setting for 2026, NYC Green Fund Grassroots Grant, and more.


 

Goal Setting for Grassroots Groups


Start off the new year right by setting some goals! Whether you’ve been part of a “Friends Of” group for years or are just beginning to volunteer in parks, we’d love for you to attend our first workshop of the year. We’ll spend the evening reflecting on our values, creating goals related to our local parks, and sharing these ideas with other park supporters. You’ll walk away with new connections and a clearer vision of what you’d like to accomplish in 2026. We’ll have light bites and a giveaway! 

Registration for this session is required and will close the day before the event. Questions? Reach out to academy@cityparksfoundation.org.

Share Feedback About our Partnerships Academy Workshops


Have you been to a Partnerships Academy workshop or webinar? Have a great idea for a workshop you would like to attend or an improvement we can make? If so, please take a moment to fill out a brief survey. 

The survey will help us evaluate and improve our workshops, ensuring they meet the various needs of the communities we serve across our city. It should take about 15 minutes to complete and will give you the chance to win a $50 gift card!
 

The deadline to complete the survey is March 15, 2026.



Partnerships for Parks is a joint program of City Parks Foundation and NYC Parks that supports and champions a growing network of leaders caring and advocating for neighborhood parks and green spaces. We equip people and organizations with the skills and tools needed to ensure these spaces are dynamic community assets.
