Dear Friend of the National Parks,
Our partner, Nature Valley, knows that making a difference for the future of our national parks begins by empowering the next generation. That’s why this year, they have donated $50,000 to NPCA to fund impact initiatives developed and led by members of our Next Generation Advisory Council, in support of national park protection and the important work ahead.
We'd like to invite you to a conversation where our council members involved in this initiative will share the projects, resources and events they have led focused on improving accessibility to our national parks, increasing opportunities for community engagement and raising awareness around the importance of national park protection.
Attendees will learn how a podcast, a clean-up event and a Spanish language park guide aim to increase knowledge of and access to parks and how our Next Generation Advisory Council members plan to build upon these projects as part of their ongoing efforts to increase national park advocacy among new audiences.
Please note, closed captioning will be available for this event.
Event Details
CO-HOST: Nature Valley
Since 2009, NPCA's partnership with Nature Valley, and the nearly $4 million donated to-date, has helped protect and preserve – as well as raise awareness for ways to enjoy and give back to – our national parks.
Featured Speakers
Andrew Yip, Next Generation Advisory Council, NPCA
A native to the San Gabriel Valley, Andrew works as a program specialist at Active San Gabriel Valley, where he advocates for safer streets, public transit and open space. Andrew designed and produced a printable, illustrated digital guide to national park sites in Southern California in English and Spanish with the aim of narrowing the information gap for LA County residents and increase awareness of these sites.
Tasfia Nayem, Next Generation Advisory Council, NPCA
Tasfia works to advance climate action in New York City and beyond. For her project, Tasfia hosted a clean-up of Jamaica Bay for local students and community members, offering an opportunity for them to connect and learn about their nearby public lands and make a positive impact on their community.
Jacob Ross, Next Generation Advisory Council, NPCA
Jacob’s passion for the National Park Service stems from his time as an intern in a congressional office on Capitol Hill; since then, he’s become a strong advocate for heritage interpretation in parks. For his project, Jacob produced “The Park Less Traveled,” a podcast designed to bring awareness to our most underutilized and under visited national parks.
