We are excited to announce the launch of Mentoring Youth (MY) Outdoors, our new free outdoor group mentoring program focused on the wellness of our community’s youth. MY Outdoors is all about having fun, forming community, and developing lifelong social and emotional skills! MY Outdoors uses outdoor activities and interactive curricula to engage with students as we build memories and build character together, while allowing participants to form personal ownership of the park. With a wealth of diverse experiences working with youth, our staff and volunteers at Friends of Mill Ridge Park are thrilled to lead this initiative and connect with our community's young members through an exciting lineup of year-round activities.
To register for an upcoming event or to learn more about MY Outdoors, please contact Katherine Dennis, Community Engagement Manager, at katherine@millridgepark.org.
