Our workforce development programs are proudly supported:
Park Ambassadors
Park Ambassadors is a workforce development program for underserved and unrepresented youth ages 16-24 from low-to-moderate income communities in the City of Newark. We use the landscape as a canvas for positive youth development, building leadership and project management skills while introducing young people to nonprofit sector, preservation, and conservation careers. Park Ambassadors, as a program, leverages a vital moment, often early in a participant's work experience, as an opportunity to empower young people to create smart goals for their future that includes financial literacy and sustainability through employment. By the end of the program, participants develop a greater sense of responsibility, accomplishment, and the skills necessary for success in the next phase of their lives.
