We
are
submitted
to
ensuring
that
all
our
community
members
have
access
to
the
benefits
of
their
local
parks
and
recreation.
Each
year
we
assist
our
low-income
families
by
granting
them
scholarships
and
freebie
tokens
to
ensure
they
are
able
to
enjoy
our
program
and
our
beautiful
lakefront.
Our
special
recreation
division
provides
after-school
and
summer
camp
programs
for
children
with
severe
disability
and
abling
them
to
enjoy
all
the
activities
we
have
to
offer.
B
Our
community
engagement
efforts,
the
city
of
Evanston,
did
a
feasibility
study
a
few
years
ago
and
it
was
determined
that
we
had
to
build
a
new
rubber
crown
community
city.
Now,
under
that
Community
Center,
we
have
engaged
our
volunteers
in
our
community
that
had
led
the
efforts
and
supported
the
city
in
hiring
and
fundraiser
architect
and
have
raised
over
eight
million
dollars
to
date.
We
are
really
excited
about
the
next
step,
which
is
the
final
architectural
drawings
in
which
our
entire
community
has
been
a
part
of.
Once
our
new
community
center
is
open.
B
C
In
Evanston,
we
have
the
mayor's
Summer
Youth
Employment
Program,
which
is
a
nine
week.
Entry-Level
work
experience
in
real
world
experience
for
our
youth
here
in
Evanston
between
the
ages
of
14
and
18.
It's
a
really
wonderful
program.
We
do
a
great
job
of
employing
kids
throughout
the
city
and
this
year
our
goal
is
to
employ
at
least
700
youth
this
summer,
and
we
are
well
on
our
way
to
doing
that.
B
There
are
several
healthy
food
initiatives
as
well.
We
have
community
garden
meals
for
seniors,
we
have
our
farmers
market
and
we
provide
free
breakfast
and
lunch
for
qualified
participants.
Along
with
these
programs,
we
have
a
ton
of
fitness
programs
to
address
all
ages
and
all
participants
here
in
Evanston.
B
For
staff
engagement,
our
department
has
started
a
journey
in
which
we
identify
the
best
staff
available
to
get
the
job
done.
Professional
development
is
encouraged
and
each
and
every
one
of
us
I
started
taking
individual
diversity
and
equity
training
to
ensure
that
we
are
providing
program.
All
citizens.
D
Panels
were
installed
on
a
heaven-sent
ecology
center
as
a
demonstration
for
sustainable
energy
collection
and
use.
So
the
Emison
environmental
Association
is
a
non-profit
group
that
helps
support
the
ecology
center
and
our
programs.
They
produce
a
variety
of
fundraisers
and
other
educational
opportunity
that
we
use
here
to
help
fund
some
of
our
special
projects
simply
apiary
the.
