Continuing its annual tradition of recognizing leaders dedicated to increasing youth access to recreation opportunities, the National Recreation Foundation (NRF) recently announced Manny Almonte as the recipient of its 2023 Robert W. Crawford Prize.

We sincerely hope recent months have been kind to you and your family. The changes we have all had to make in order to adjust to the new world we inhabit have hit many of us hard over the summer; the hardest hit being the youth. For that reason, we have decided that this is the prime time to double down on our Young Masterminds Initiative efforts, and open our intake for membership this month.
