What is the Friends Group Gateway,
The Friends Group Gateway is a
free
, all-inclusive virtual community that is designed specifically for the grassroots groups that support New York’s public open spaces and cultural places. Powered by Parks & Trails New York, the Gateway is a way for groups to share and access best practices, technical assistance, resources and knowledge through a peer-to-peer network. When that collaboration is coupled with PTNY’s ongoing trainings, events, and advocacy efforts, our state’s iconic park system and its 78.4 million annual visitors benefit.

The Gateway offers members access to an abundance of invaluable resources, discussion forums, and engagement tools. Becoming a member of the Gateway enables an unlimited number of members from your organization to gain access to our resources and join the conversation.
