Cities Connecting Children to Nature (CCCN) is a joint initiative of the National League of Cities and the Children & Nature Network, working to connect children and families to green spaces and outdoor experiences across the country. A recent report is identifying takeaways from the initiative that can inform future systems work within cities to promote nature access – including the importance of developing or strengthening partnerships with community and government partners to make systems-level change. “This work has truly opened the doors to how we can function, who is helping advance these efforts, and how we can prioritize multilevel systems thinking,” reports the city of Little Rock, Arkansas, a CCCN participant.

YES! is starting with its first activity this week: Post a picture demonstrating how your work/studies have a positive impacton community. Feel free to explain it: what is your community that you serve/inhabit? What is the most rewarding thing about helping community? What is something that you think communities would benefit from your work, that is different or unconventional? For me personally, my local community is in Upstate New York, and as there are many people who have moved here to appreciate the natural beauty of the area, as well as locals who have lived here for generations, everyone has some story to tell from their perspective of the area’s natural history. One thing that is rewarding about serving it is seeing people and families come together and have fun in a local setting, and seeing that they can do fun and rewarding things for the environment right where they are. And, I truly believe that my community could really start to benefit from their creative projects being celebrated as a new way of collaborating in a local setting, to set an example for other communities. In order to create change, we need to embrace our unique skills and the qualities that make us outstanding. The environment is filled with communities, and we are one of them, contributing to it with our output. If our output is positive and fulfilling for everyone, just imagine how the Earth community can become even stronger than before! #community #earth #earthcommunity #communityaction #communityclimate

Startling statistics reveal that an astonishing 70% of families grapple with the daunting task of selecting an #assistedliving facility. 📊 This overwhelming number underscores the complexity of the decision-making process and the magnitude of emotions tied to it.
