A survey from last year showed that out of 4,505 people, 26% visited parks weekly, and of that amount, approximately 49% found most parks' water unsafe.
A school survey from 2021 showed 30% of parents in [city] felt their local park was too dirty or unsafe for their children to play. The World Health Organization recommends that all people reside within 300 meters of green space.
Yet as of 2020, 100 million people in [country], including 27 million children, reported not having access to decent nearby green space. Racially inequitable urban spaces have long been an issue for the city of [city]. Currently,
the city lacks the transportation infrastructure to ensure that all parks are accessible. Last year a study showed that out of 100 parks in the city, only 12 of these parks had reasonable access to public transportation. Several reviews suggest that access to
neighborhood parks & green spaces are associated with better population health, including improved physical activity and less obesity, which continues to be one of today’s most pressing public health problems. In addition, some research evidence
suggests that this access improves mental health. This nation-wide study covering >900,000 people shows that children who grew up with the lowest levels of green space had up to 55% higher risk of developing a psychiatric disorder independent from effects
of other known risk factors. If [city]’s parks are cleaner and more accessible, more citizens can get outdoors and connect across geographic and other lines. This leads to better health outcomes, potential economic benefits, and a stronger community.

Through organized volunteer events and annual programs, GA provides communities with the tools they need to improve their overall community and build a better future for themselves and their neighbors. We provide communities with resources that teach them about necessary information to their environments such as sustainable gardening, native plants and composting. GA also helps coordinate and host large volunteer events to quickly transform spaces in Austin such as vacant lots or overrun trail passes. All with the 'better together' focus in mind, encouraging community involvement and engagement.
With inclusivity at its core, GA offers a wide variety of programs that cater to various groups of individuals. We want individuals to find a home at Beautify Austin and to do that we offer many different programs that we feel can check off one or more volunteer interests.
Grow Austin believes that communities hold the power to keep their neighborhoods clean and thriving. In 2021, over 1000 volunteers participated in the Grow Austin programs, filling over 2000 recycling bags.

Desired Outcomes:
Two cleanup efforts with a minimum of 10 community volunteers

90% positive feedback from local citizens
