Community Greening Liaison

We are looking for resident park champions to serve as Community Greening Liaisons. Liaisons share project updates, invite community input, support outreach at meetings and events, and help make sure the plan reflects what West and Southwest Philadelphia residents actually want.

Liaisons represent community interests, take part in Steering Committee meetings and planning work, help set priorities, build partnerships, and support the plan through to implementation.

Liaisons are drawn from across the plan area: Overbrook, Carroll Park, Haddington, Cobbs Creek, Kingsessing, Paschall and Elmwood.
