Cuyahoga Valley National Park gets funds to draw young people

By Beacon Journal staff report

The Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a winner in a new federal program.

The park will be kicking off a new $341,700 program to get more inner-city youth into the 33,000-acre federal park between Akron and Cleveland.

The program is one of 110 national park projects awarded more than $51.5 million today under President Bush's National Park Centennial Initiative.

The Cuyahoga Valley will get $170,850 in federal funds that will be matched by $170,850 from the friends-of-the-park group, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park Association.

The goal is to provide 14,370 youth, many from urban and low-income communities, with improved and expanded educational and recreational opportunities in the park.

That includes programs at the Cuyahoga Valley Environmental Education Center in Boston Township and the Get Up! Get Out & Go! program operated in Akron by the friends group and the national park.

The grant will permit the summer Get Up! program to continue in Akron and to expand into Cleveland.
