Join Depave Portland and Depave Chicago for a transformative, hands-on depaving & greening project at The Montessori School of Englewood (TMSOE) - a vital hub for West Englewood where children and families learn, grow, and heal from systemic disinvestment. The TMSOE project will bring students, families, neighbors, and greening organizations together to implement a collaborative model of depaving and greening schoolyards to improve children’s health and community well-being. This schoolyard restoration is a cornerstone of climate justice work and an empowering model for other schools. 

The summit will include speakers and workshops about urban land regeneration and community health. The summit is a gathering of depaving and greening organizations from around the city, region, and country to help to undertake the project and to hold education sessions, workshops, on-site training, the depave event days, and a community celebration. Please join us for all or part of the events to learn about and participate in a hands-on model of intergenerational, communal transformation.

Stay tuned for more information and schedule of events!
