“Concrete safaris mission is to prepare youth in east harlem and beyond to lead healthy lives and shape their environment through outdoor education, play, exploration, and community engagement. The outdoor leadership academy offers environmental health-centered internships for youth. It aims to expose 14- to 24-year olds to healthcare, business, media, food services, and construction opportunities, develop their leadership skills, and engage the local community in outdoor activities. Interns work for 6 to 25 hours per week in gardening, outdoor play, health media, and non-profit business. The 2019 program involved 221 interns, most of whom were paid by the nyc department of youth and community development. City surfers is an after school program operating 5 days/week that aims to improve the health and fitness of elementary school children. In 2019, 84 children in the second to fifth grades developed active living interventions, designed and installed gardens, took photographs and hosted an exhibition, developed bike routes and cycled, embarked on field trips, and created obstacle races. Gardening activities took place on land belonging to the new york city housing authority. Junglegym is an annual obstacle challenge and active living fair series for children and their families. In 2019, 6,500 children, youth and family members participated in seven events held on eight city blocks closed to traffic, in school yards, and in parks in east harlem and washington heights. Interns led the events for the community and were actively involved in the obstacle challenge design, construction, and promotion.”
