PHILLY YOUTH ARE OUTSIDE! 🌱💚
This summer, Philadelphia Parks and Recreation gave Philly young people a camera, a platform, and the space to make it their own. 📸🌳
Through our youth influencer program, young people across the city were paid to create, explore, and share their experiences across Parks and Rec social media platforms.
Our TouchGrassPhilly influencers brought their own personalities, perspectives, and creativity to the campaign. They showed us what it looks like when young people aren’t just the audience, but are shaping the narratives. ✨
To our Youth Influencers: Thank you for trusting us, showing up, and making TouchGrassPhilly your own. 💚 Christina M. farawaycastillo alex ✧ yikesnev
