Community Outreach
Over the years we have partnered with various organizations serving immigrants, refugees, and communities of color on projects that support and promote transportation, recreation, connections between people and the land, and a say in future development in the Midtown Greenway. The Midtown Greenway is for EVERYONE, and we've been working with diverse groups and organizations to make sure that all families know they can enjoy the Greenway too.
Recently, we re-launched one of our successful outreach efforts -- the Green Way to Go program, which offers bike rides for local children of color in the Midtown area. This summer (2017) we took all of the 6th graders from Andersen United Community School on bike rides in the Greenway, and also spent a day at the school teaching bike safety lessons.
We are also currently working with Little Earth of United Tribes and MCAD on a mural created by Little Earth youth. The mural will be installed this summer (2017) under the 13th Avenue bridge.
Our volunteers and staff attend many neighborhood events and are always looking for ways to educate the community about the Midtown Greenway! If you would like us to attend a neghborhood event, please e-mail soren@midtowngreenway.org
