“As we continue to see grave health, educational and economic disparities growing among youth, we urge our colleagues in park and recreation agencies, public health and local government officials, schools, community-based organizations and other youth sports stakeholders to significantly increase efforts to center equity in COVID-19 response and recovery.”
– Kristine Stratton, President and CEO of NRPA
NRPA published this statement in April 2021, encouraging park and recreation professionals, public health and elected officials, schools and other youth sports providers to level the playing field and focus on equity as they reopen their facilities and programs.
