The First Community Event

After being tasked with community outreach ranging from social media posts to door-to-door outreach, the FPYA led their first community outreach meeting in Industry RiNo Station and had an audience of over 100 community members, each one advocating for changes they sought for the park and parking lot. The FPYA was responsible for every aspect of the meeting, from public speaking to data collection. It was a huge success, even attracting important city leaders like Mayor Hancock, Jason Winkler, and Happy Haines, with each giving their stamp of approval. This success opened the team’s eyes to the importance of community and their work.
