The People's Budget

Type of funding: Programs and services (non-capital)

Rough cost estimate: Under $500,000

Evaluation notes:

✅ This idea could be implemented without changing current policy or law.

✅ This idea is within the City's jurisdiction. 

✅ This idea doesn't name a specific vendor. 

❌ This idea would incur costs indefinitely. 

Justification: This is a general request for more environmental education/nature programming for youth.

Other notes: Seattle Park and Recreation offers multiple Outdoor/Environmental Education programs, as well as partners with community stakeholders to provide this programming. The addition of target demographic and/or neighborhood would be helpful in knowing where additional programming could be added.
