why we're doing it

Reports show significant differences across racial and ethnic groups, with significantly lower participation for African-Americans for activities taking place in a wild land environment. Lower rates of participation by some minority groups are attributed both to limited economic resources and to differences in norms, value systems and socialization patterns.Our project will address all of these listed above to the youth in our program. Detroit has seen a decrease in park usage.
