WELCOME TO OUR COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT PROJECT
IN BEDFORD, PA
Welcome to our home page! We're so glad you dropped by. Come back often to check on our progress, and learn how you can volunteer to help us make the kids' dream a reality.
Our group believes in the importance of a community that provides public places for children to play and for people to relax, socialize, and build networks of community support. We live in a time when many pressures are put on children to be prepared for the future, yet play in natural environments is so critical to the development of our children.
We are initiating a planning committee with the mission of providing a more supportive community for our children and families. Our first task is to organize a community-built playground.
Our committee has the following goals:
- Expand our committee to represent the community of Bedford and its surrounding area.
- Secure a site on public or private property to construct a playground where toddlers, school-age children, and kids with disabilities have a space to play.
- Organize a community design day, including children, to finalize a playground design. We are currently considering services from Leathers and Associates to lead the design and construction of the playground.
- Launch a campaign for donations and fund-raising.
- Organize and bring together volunteers for building day.
- Enjoy the satisfaction of a community effort that can be experienced by all.
With support, we believe these goals can be accomplished within two years. We also feel that one successful community effort can inspire additional efforts for other age groups. Please join us so we can give our community a place for children to play and discover themselves!
