Webinar with Christian Alvarado, Manager of Peer Learning, Children & Nature Network

Nature is essential in enhancing mental health and emotional well-being, cognitive development, and healing from trauma. In 2023, the Children & Nature Network (C&NN), National League of Cities, and KABOOM! launched Nature Everywhere Communities, an initiative designed to advance equitable access to nature everywhere children live, learn, and play. Based on over 10 years of supporting coalitions across the U.S., Nature Everywhere Communities helps local leaders assess community assets and barriers, align strategies with shared goals, and implement actions that expand nature access.

The Nature Everywhere Communities Action Challenge is a self-paced opportunity where participating teams gain access to toolkits, equity mapping data, and peer learning opportunities while receiving local and national recognition for their efforts. It’s also a great way to celebrate and amplify the progress your community has already made. This webinar will highlight key strategies for assessing community needs and identifying opportunities to expand nature access, featuring insights from a Nature Everywhere Accelerator Community in the Rio Grande Valley. Attendees will learn about specific actions within the Action Challenge that support their work, including engaging local leaders to champion nature initiatives, developing partnerships across sectors to strengthen their team, and implementing community-driven actions that create lasting change.
