Park Pride
Park Pride

Presentation from Park Pride's 2015 Parks and Greenspace Conference. The presenter is Alexie Torres-Fleming. Alexie Torres-Fleming believes that empowering communities with the skills and tools needed to engender change is as important as the physical results. In 1994, she founded Youth Ministries for Peace and Justice (YMPJ) to prepare young people to become voices for peace and justice. Under her leadership, YMPJ developed riverside parks, restored the Bronx River and improved access to it, and cleaned up brownfields. Ms. Torres-Fleming will share her experience working for positive change in her community and along the Bronx River.

Go to the people. Live with them. Learn from them. Love them. Start with what they know. Build with what they have. But with the best leaders, when the work is done, the task accomplished, the people will say 'We have done this ourselves. Lao Tzu
