Greenway Guardians Youth Committee Meeting

  • Eagle Point Recreation Center 6060 Parkway Drive Commerce City, CO, 80022 United States (map)

Do you live in Commerce City? We want to amplify your voice! Join a group of young stewards (ages 10-17) who will work together to inform the SCRGP on the creation and installation of a temporary sculpture in Commerce City made out of trash collected from the Sand Creek Greenway! This will be a unique project focused on educating the community on the environmental and community impacts of littering. Uplifting youth voices in Commerce City is important to us as we embark on this project and we would love for you to join us!

¿Vives en Commerce City? ¡Queremos amplificar tu voz! ¡Únase a un grupo de jóvenes mayordomos (de 10 a 17 años) que trabajarán juntos para informar al SCRGP sobre la creación e instalación de una escultura temporal en Commerce City hecha completamente de basura recolectada de la Vía Verde de Sand Creek! Este será un proyecto único enfocado en educar a la comunidad sobre los impactos ambientales y comunitarios de tirar basura. ¡Elevar las voces de los jóvenes en Commerce City es importante para nosotros a medida que nos embarcamos en este proyecto y nos encantaría que se uniera a nosotros!

Through monthly meetings, February through September 2024 at Eagle Point Recreation Center and on the Greenway, you will help with sculpture concept/design by creating a Request for Proposal (RFP) that will be shared with the public, selecting an artist, collecting sculpture materials, and engaging the community in the project.
