The Youth of Mission Playground were interviewed last night by PBS/NPR
for a national broadcast as one of the Greatest Latino Efforts of 2014.

So far they achieved:

  1. Extended Lighted Fields
  2. Free Play at Night
  3. Bilingual Signage (in red)

But they are not done.

They still

  1. Want a Process to ensure this does not happen again at Mission Playground
  2. Want their safety concerns met
  3. Want to extend their efforts to other playgrounds
  4. Want their issues to be heard on the Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda
  5. Want a follow-up meeting with Park and Recreation Management where there are more youth than Park staff.

They will be engaging leaders and will be heard at the Youth Commission.

More to come…
