In East Harlem
Sponsor a Green Exercise Day
Did you know that 3 elementary schools within 6-blocks of Concrete Safaris’ gardens have no science teachers for over 1,200 students? Join Concrete Safaris for an outdoor educational experience serving 2nd-5th graders in East Harlem. Partner with children or youth via group mentoring, completing team building games and 25-minute modules of gardening, urbanism, environmental health science, and fitness. You will plant, learn about the neighborhood, study the health impacts of our environment in East Harlem, and complete a fitness circuit together. For those organizations that prefer to work independently, a day of garden maintenance activities only can be arranged. Work with our team to develop a custom event so that East Harlem children can use CS' gardens as their science labs.
Get Active With JungleGym 2020
At Concrete Safaris’ JungleGym 2020, East Harlem children and their families will race through a 20-Obstacle Challenge and enjoy an Active Living Fair spanning commercial corridors, residential blocks, and school yards in East Harlem in partnership with the NYC Department of Transportation’s Weekend Walks program. East Harlem youth will help build the obstacles. Elementary school children will meet with Community Board 11 to secure permits and street closures. Concrete Safaris’ Outdoor Leadership Academy Interns and volunteers will facilitate these family events, celebrating our 8th annual event series and 12th year. Local organizations will offer fun activities and information on healthy, local programs.
