Coalition Steering Committee

We are led by our steering committee, which meets every two weeks to discuss our events, advocacy, and outreach. Our steering committee purposely includes resident leaders and representatives of local and national nonprofits. Our nonprofits and grassroots organizations work together towards our common goal: to build an equitable, culturally rich, and community-driven parks and recreation ecosystem in Cleveland.
