Description
The Parks Youth Engagement Committee includes about 20 youth (ages 14-18) from across Kitchener. They meet once a month for two hours at the Rockway Community Centre. The committee gives young people a chance to learn about upcoming park projects and to share their ideas on how to make Kitchener’s parks more welcoming and enjoyable for youth.
Each meeting includes hands-on activities, simple discussions about youth-friendly design, and a chance for members to help shape a real park project. The committee values many different youth voices and makes sure young people can meaningfully influence how parks in the city grow and change.
