Friends Resource Kit
PTNY has a myriad of resources available for Friends groups to help grow and strengthen your organization. From templates and sample documents, to our Friends in Focus fact sheet series which explores in-depth topics, to links to key resources, there's something for every organization.
To access these resources and information for Friends Groups, visit the new Friends Group Gateway, Powered by Parks & Trails New York! Launched in January 2022, the Gateway is a comprehensive online community designed to support Friends Groups. The Gateway includes an array of integrated tools, including a member database and directory, event management and e-communication tools, a resource library (reports, recordings, templates, etc.), discussion forums for you to collaborate with other groups on specific topics, plus a number of other services.
