SUMMARY:Youth Development & Nature Connection Framework (Recording)
DESCRIPTION:The saying 1+1=3 rings true when it comes to intentionally integrating youth development with nature experiences\, the benefits of each and produces new outcomes for youth to reach their full potential. Join C&NN to explore effective and inspirational practices at this intersection that are greater than their individual parts and to map your organization’s progress toward achieving positive youth development outcomes through quality nature engagement. Featuring conversation with Therese Ryley from Southwest Conservation Corps and Shandiin Nez from Continental Divide Trail Coalition. \nThérèse d’Auria Ryley or “Tess” is the Program Director for the Southwest Conservation Corps\, Los Valles\, which serves the Upper Arkansas River Valley and the San Luis Valley. Tess oversees general operations of the corps while developing new programming that address historic inequities that have been pervasive in the conservation industry. Tess was a 2021-22 Keystone Policy Center Systems Impact Institute Fellow where she collaborated with non-profit workers and educators across the state of Colorado to address systemic inequities to improve programming and educational opportunities for Colorado’s youth and young adults. In her free-time\, Tess enjoys hiking and trail running all the trails in the Upper Arkansas and San Luis Valleys\, and reading all the fiction. \nShandiin Nez is a member of the Navajo Nation\, currently working out of Gallup\, NM\, on Dine and Zuni lands. Their connection to the land was formed by an early introduction to outdoor recreation and cultural practices while growing up in the Four Corners region with hiking\, fishing\, fossil searches and hunting. Before joining CDTC as the Southern New Mexico Policy Fellow\, Shandiin worked with groups like Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps\, Southwest Conservation Corps and the Student Conservation Association in a variety of roles alongside agency staff\, communities\, Tribal Nations\, Indigenous youth and volunteers to not only steward trails\, but ensure that the trail community is an inclusive one for all who want to enjoy the outdoors.

SUMMARY:CCCN Fall Learning Series: Measuring Systems Change for Children's Equitable Access to Nature [RESCHEDULED]
DESCRIPTION:If you registered for the original webinar on Nov. 3\, you do not need to register again. Please check your email as we sent out an email with the login link and information. Email info@childrenandnature.org for any questions. \n\nJoin us to learn how to measure progress in changing the conditions that keep cities from providing equitable access to nature for children. \nThis third and final session in the three-part series continues to explore the ways cities and community leaders can change long-standing conditions of inequity to achieve more equitable access to nature for all children. Building on content from the first two sessions\, participants will increase fluency and understanding of the systems change framework. They will also explore how to measure progress towards more equitable access to nature. The session will introduce CCCN measurement tools that participants can use to keep track of progress and next steps towards change. \nThe session will be co-facilitated by Cities Connecting Children to Nature (CCCN)\, a national partnership of NLC and C&NN\, Success Measures\, a CCCN partner focused on measurement\, and the National Recreation and Parks Association\, a partner of this learning series. Panelists will include representatives from CCCN cities sharing experiences utilizing the measurement tools. \nObjectives: \n\nBuild fluency and grasp of 6 conditions of systems change [continued]\nIdentify methods for measuring progress in changing systems conditions that lead to increasing equitable access to nature \nExplore tools for measuring and implementing best practices that enhances children’s equitable access to nature \n\nAbout the series: \nWe know that nature makes kids healthier\, happier and smarter. Unfortunately\, not all kids have the same access to nature and green spaces. Longstanding conditions\, such as policies\, power dynamics\, resource allocations and systemic racism create unequal access to nature’s benefits\, particularly for kids of color and from low-income communities. Achieving real and lasting change requires a community-based approach to dismantling systems of inequity\, or in other words\, a systems change approach. \nThis series will dive into how cities and their local partners can use a systems change approach to connect children to nature more equitably. The 3-part series includes two informative webinars that serve as a foundation for understanding a systems change framework followed by an interactive workshop for participants to apply the insight gained. \nIf you did not register for the original webinar and would like to register\, please email info@childrenandnature.org. \n \nPresented by: \n \nIn partnership with:

SUMMARY:CCCN Fall Learning Series: Applying Systems Change for Children's Equitable Access to Nature in Your City
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this hands-on workshop to identify unique systems levers for cities to advance equitable access to nature for children. \nThis second session of a three-part series engages participants in applying a system change framework to their city or program. The session offers an opportunity to deepen understanding of the underlying conditions that often hinder change at a systems level. Participants will then workshop the tools and resources covered in the earlier sessions and apply them to their own work through smaller breakout sessions and work groups. \nIt is facilitated by experienced staff from Cities Connecting Children to Nature (CCCN)\, a national partnership of NLC and C&NN\, Justice Outside\, a CCCN partner focused on advancing racial justice and equity in the outdoors\, and National Recreation and Parks Association\, a core partner of this learning series. \nRecommended prerequisite: Cities Embracing a Framework of Systems Change to Connect Children to Nature More Equitably Webinar \nAbout the series: \nWe know that nature makes kids healthier\, happier and smarter.

SUMMARY:CCCN Fall Learning Series: Cities Embracing a Framework of Systems Change to Connect Children to Nature More Equitably
DESCRIPTION:This webinar explores how long-standing systems of inequity contribute to inequitable access to nature for children of color in cities. \nThis is the first session in a 3-part series helping city and community leaders understand how to create citywide change towards equitable access to nature for all children. Participants will build a foundation for understanding how a systems approach can help cities and local partners achieve lasting change. They will explore the various levels at which change needs to take place with a keen eye on racial equity and how long-standing systems of inequity contribute to unequal access to nature for children. \nThe session brings together city perspectives aligned with experience from Cities Connecting Children to Nature (CCCN)\, a national partnership of NLC and C&NN\, Justice Outside\, a CCCN partner focused on advancing racial justice and equity in the outdoors\, and National Recreation and Parks Association\, a core partner of this learning series. \nObjectives: \n\nBuild fluency and understand the conditions that make up the systems change framework\nShare successes and impacts from other cities in applying a systems change approach for equitable access to nature for children\nIdentify ways to leverage city plans or developing strategies for system change grounded in equity\nExplore local\, regional\, and state issues\, needs\, and examples for bringing about gradual changes in children’s equitable access to nature at the systems level\n\nAbout the series: \nWe know that nature makes kids healthier\, happier and smarter. Unfortunately\, not all kids have the same access to nature and green spaces. Longstanding conditions\, such as policies\, power dynamics\, resource allocations and systemic racism create unequal access to nature’s benefits\, particularly for kids of color and from low-income communities.

SUMMARY:CCCN State & Regional Nature Connections Informational Session
DESCRIPTION:Through Cities Connecting Children to Nature\, an initiative of the Children & Nature Network and the National League of Cities\, we have seen individual cities across the U.S. successfully implement policies and programs that connect more kids to the outdoors. What if we were to tap into the power of collaboration to bring groups of cities together for greater impact? We believe there is untapped potential for state and regional collaboratives working closely with city governments to leverage funding\, advance policies\, and share knowledge to bring nature’s benefits to more children. \nThe workshop is a prerequisite for application to the CCCN State & Regional Cohort\, a 26-month engagement that includes technical assistance\, funding\, and peer learning for select regional organizations and collaboratives to support regional and state-wide strategies that engage municipal leaders in increasing equitable access to nature.

SUMMARY:Thriving Together: Bridging Differences to Build a Thriving Natural World for All
DESCRIPTION:Everyone deserves to live in a clean\, healthy environment—one that is free from hazards and emerging pathogens\, resilient to future changes\, and fulfills our need to connect with nature. Addressing climate change\, health inequities\, and disparities in access to nature will require transformational change in our policies and systems. We cannot have healthy people without healthy places\, and we cannot have healthy places without a thriving natural world. \nThriving Together: A Springboard for Equitable Recovery and Resilience in Communities Across America presents a unifying framework for action that 1) describes what it will take to transform our inequitable systems; 2) captures our shared values and commitment to equitable well-being; and 3) frames decisions within the context of a clear\, measurable goal: all people and places thriving\, no exceptions. \nThis interactive workshop will introduce the core components of the Thriving Together framework. Attendees will deepen their understanding of the framework through dialogue\, a practice that bridges difference and builds civic muscle. Attendees will leave the workshop with a set of tools and resources to begin to explore transformational change in their organizations\, communities\, or networks. \nExplore Thriving Together: A Springboard for Equitable Recovery and Resilience in Communities Across America: Read more \nCost: $45 general / $30 C&NN members (Not a member?
