We know and advocate that an investment in park and recreation professionals is an investment in communities that thrive.

Current NRPA Opportunities

Supporting Healthy Aging Through Parks and Recreation (SHAPR)

NRPA with the support of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is pleased to announce the availability of the Supporting Healthy Aging Through Parks and Recreation (SHAPR) grant. This grant supports park and recreation professionals to increase access, availability, participation, and sustainable support for programs that improve physical activity, engagement, and the quality of life for older adults. The goal of this project is to increase the equitable dissemination, delivery and sustainability of arthritis-appropriate, evidence-based interventions in park and recreation agencies. 

The SHAPR grant provides applicants with opportunities for instructor trainings for one of five Arthritis-Appropriate Evidence-Based Interventions (AAEBIs) and membership in a health equity focused Community of Practice.
