The project’s <br />outreach efforts will help the community plan a park and recreation system that is welcoming to everyone in the <br />community. <br /> <br />Human Rights & Neighborhood Involvement is sponsoring a special training <br />on effectively engaging Latino and marginalized communities in civic <br />planning and decision-making; the emphasis will be on an innovative, grass- <br />roots method using art and personal stories as a medium to engage and <br />vision. Staff from throughout the organization and from community partner <br />agencies will be trained along with Parks and Recreation staff. The training <br />will kick off the Latino community outreach component of the PRSP update <br />and will be followed by two weeks of intensive outreach efforts with the <br />Latino community. <br /> <br />Outreach activities are varied and include many organizations and venues serving Latinos in the area, from Latino middle <br />school youth and families learning English to Latino businesses.
