Your Connection To East Harlem
{{item}}
Concrete Safaris believes that outdoor, healthy leadership must be normalized on city streets and in public housing developments. The organization also understands that there are individuals who prefer not to travel on certain city streets or near certain public housing developments for very valid and real reasons. We understand that these statements do not apply to all individuals. We also want to make sure that individuals are not hindered from safer opportunities to build skills and knowledge outdoors in their communities. Selecting “Yes” or “No” will not stop you from being considered for a role at Concrete Safaris. It will allow us to make more informed decisions in where to place you, if selected.
