PROSPECT PARK — YOUTH LEADERS FROM several faith traditions will celebrate Earth Day on Thursday at the Prospect Park Picnic House.
The Prospect Park Alliance is a key organizer of “Many Faiths, One Earth,” which will celebrate participants’ shared values, social justice, community and earth stewardship. Attendees of the free event will hear from young leaders from diverse traditions on how they live out the intersection of faith, compassion, environmental stewardship and social justice. The event, which runs on April 23 from 5 to 8 p.m., features a youth-led panel, experiential reflections rooted in the nature of Prospect Park and a ceremony presenting awards to youth trailblazers. The evening will conclude with participants breaking bread together in their commitment to building a just and sustainable future.
The Prospect Park Alliance and several other Brooklyn community organizations make “Many Faiths, One Earth” possible, including the 67th Precinct Clergy Council, also known as The GodSquad, which provides faith-based outreach and support services to empower local youth; the Jewish Community Relations Council; St. Paul’s Church in the Village of Flatbush, an Episcopal congregation committed to social justice; and the Council of Peoples Organization (COPO), which provides vital advocacy for immigrant communities.
Registration is required.
