I\u2019m thrilled to be working at Chandler Park Conservancy (CPC) this summer. \u00a0CPC is a fairly new nonprofit based on the eastside of Detroit, and works based out of Chandler Park to improve the health, education, and well-being of the surrounding community. \u00a0CPC shares a building and works closely with Eastside Community Network (ECN), whose vision is to see the <\/span>lower eastside of Detroit as a community of choice where residents can live, work, play and thrive.<\/span><\/p>\n

This summer I\u2019ll be working on multiple things mostly with CPC and some with ECN. \u00a0With CPC I\u2019ll be working to better understand and improve the perceptions associated with Chandler Park. \u00a0In the past, the park has had a reputation of crime, but in the past two years CPC has been able to revitalize the park. \u00a0I\u2019ll be creating a survey to gage the perceptions and needs of community members who use the park. \u00a0In addition I\u2019ll be able to use social media to communicate with the community and show them how the park has changed, and invite them to participate in a variety of events at the park. \u00a0My next project will be the CP SPY program. \u00a0CP SPY stands for Chandler Park Sports Program for Youth. \u00a0This project will essentially be a summer camp that I will help to organize for youth in the community to participate in multiple sports at the park. \u00a0I\u2019m most excited about this project as it will allow me to work with children in the community, and learn archery! Finally, with ECN I will be doing some work with the Healthy Neighborhood Initiative (HNI). \u00a0The HNI is a grant funded program that 100 individuals in the community participate in. \u00a0The program tracks the participants weight loss and overall health. \u00a0Individuals are invited to participate in a variety of health driven activities including a walking club, yoga, and community dinners. \u00a0This project particularly excites me as it directly relates to public health, which I plan to pursue in the future. <\/span><\/p>\n

My first week with CPC was amazing. \u00a0I was able to do so much and meet so many people. \u00a0On Saturday CPC hosted the Chandler Park kick-off and we had over 500 guests. \u00a0Everyone has been so welcoming and I\u2019m really happy with all of the community engagement I\u2019ve been able to take advantage of. \u00a0This entire week I\u2019ve been stuck at jury duty and have found myself already missing my work, co-workers and the community at CPC. \u00a0I can\u2019t wait to get back to work. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
