The City of San Luis has a bit more green to work with, and it's not just the grass in the parks. San Luis Parks and Recreation Department has recently received a solid $5,000 boost from the Campesinos Sin Fronteras (CSF) 2THRIVE Youth Program. This funding is set to directly further develop the city's recreation programs and community activities, along with enhancing the local parks—a clear win for people of every age bracket in the community. For anyone needing more details, the city's Public Affairs Office is ready to answer questions at (928) 341-8520 or via email at [email protected], as per their announcement.
This isn't the first time CSF has stepped in to make a mark: they've been shaking hands with the City of San Luis Parks and Recreation Department for over half a decade now. The Cesar Chavez Cultural Center, under this partnership, has become the stage for the 2THRIVE's Summer Youth Leadership Institute (SYLI), a space where young leaders are groomed to quickly transform their schools and communities for the better. "We are honored to receive this donation from Campesinos Sin Fronteras THRIVE Program," said Angelica Roldan, San Luis Parks and Recreation Director, recognizing the importance of this continuous support to the department in a statement obtained by San Luis's official news.
It’s clear that the money is more than just a donation; it's a continued investment in the city’s youth and communal spaces. The City of San Luis and the CSF have been collaborating to lay down a foundation of programs that not only bring San Luis families closer but also actively foster community wellbeing. Whether it’s picking up the ball for a game in the park or picking up the mantle of leadership in their neighborhoods, the youth of San Luis are getting equipped to tackle it all.
Shared goals between the City of San Luis Parks and Recreation and the CSF's 2THRIVE Program have made it possible to actively always be creating new avenues for residents to connect and enjoy their community spaces. This longevity and depth of partnership paint a reliable picture of two entities striving side by side to upgrade public spaces and play a pivotal role in boosting the quality of life for the people they serve. It’s community action at its most direct, affecting change where it’s most immediate to be felt—in the public spaces where life’s daily dramas unfold, in the play and laughter of children, in the collective exhale of families unwinding together.
