Student take to the streets for community engagement

Philadelphia Student Union participants engage the community during Summer 2018.

The Friends of Malcolm X Park, in partnership with The Enterprise Center CDC (TEC)

and the Philadelphia Student Union with consultation from VICS LLC, undertook a

park planning, programming, and capacity building project in June 2018 for the Friends

Group. The project’s goals were to conduct analysis and community engagement, as well

as lead planning and ideation that summarizes findings and outlines next steps regarding

the organizational development of the Friends Group:

• Enhance programming in the park;

• Promote public space enhancements tied to programming; and

• Increase the capacity of the Friends Group to coordinate programming,

engage park users, and advocate for park maintenance and

improvements.
