Healthy Community Initiative

Transforming the unfinished outdoor space behind The Key into a multi-purpose turf field available for all youth, was the desire of the five youth who submitted this grant proposal. The space is currently undeveloped and under-utilized, however a turf-field where any sport could be played, free of charge, and that is centrally located in downtown Northfield will help bring various youth together. The funds received from YouthBank will be pooled with other sources to landscape the space and install a 30 by 50 foot Turf Field. The YouthBank team felt this project resonated with both their themes by giving a safe space to participate in healthy activities and bringing different groups of youth together.
