NextGen Community Partnerships

Our work would not be possible without trusted partnerships with leaders in our community and grassroots organizations. We are indebted to them for their experience and expertise and will continue to learn from and support their work. Together, we can create a more equitable future for all. Be sure to check out all of our partnerships on this page.

Oki Park Garden Project

With partners Miridae, Office of Kat Taylor (OKT), and Insight Garden Program, we’re building Oki Park Farm, a thriving urban garden that will promote environmental learning, produce fresh fruits and vegetables, and provide job training to individuals affected by the criminal justice system.

“With vision and effort, we can provide a space for recreation, education and sustenance. And with an equity mindset, we can ensure such a space provides support and enjoyment to all members of the community, especially those who are so often underserved.”
