Review for Amigos De Los Rios, Altadena, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Amigos de los Rios is a very progressive organization that has a genuine interest in helping underserved communities. I started off with this non-profit as a fellow and I am amazed with the amount of knowledge and experience I have gained in the field. Amigos is unique for actively engaging its fellows and interns with various players, agencies, and organizations in the planning, devleopment, and ongoing stewardship of public parks. This organization has provided me with wonderful opportunities in working with the general public through community input meetings and outreach events.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

working with volunteer groups at our existing parks on weekends. Community members are very supportive of Amigos' vision and are proud to have them as greenspace advocates for neighborhoods that have been traditionally neglected and underserved. Amigos' presence in these neighborhoods have served as a source of empowerment for youth and seniors.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

spend more time working with other communities along the Los Angeles River.

Role:  Professional with expertise in this field & I helped with a street tree beautification project, spent considerable time in the field surveying parks, worked with the general pubilc, city leaders, landscape architects, and contractors for park development.
