Opening Up the Schoolyard 

April 28 

In many communities, the safest and most convenient places for children to
play are school facilities like gyms, sports fields, and playgrounds - but
districts often close their property to the public after hours, concerned
about liability, security, and maintenance. We'll take you through the nuts
and bolts of how to create contracts that expand access to school grounds
with schools, local government, and even nonprofits sharing the costs and
responsibilities.

New Partnerships for Healthier Corner Stores 

November 17 

Nutrition assistance programs like WIC and SNAP not only help low-income
families afford healthy meals, they're also an economic boon for
participating retailers. Corner store owners who become authorized WIC and
SNAP vendors will need to stock healthier items for everyone in the
neighborhood, and they'll benefit from new sources of revenue. We'll talk
about how advocates can work effectively with store owners to maximize the
benefits of nutrition assistance programs for consumers and retailers alike.
