hanging out with teenagers
Today we took a trip to the Trust for Public Land downtown with our Park Patrol interns. We were able to learn about how TPL works, and the best ways for us to help fundraise for parks. We also met the staff and learned about their jobs in the organization. As we left, we toured the Holocaust Memorial and thought about the role of memorials in public space. Each youth wrote down a word on an index card to describe their experience at the memorial: Emotional, Amazing, Mind Capturing, Sad, Courageous. It was fun to have this experience and also to get to a part of the city we don't always go to with our kids.
