The Park District is a Proud Supporter of the GenderCool Project

March 9, 2022

Last October, the Recreation Center of Highland Park was honored to serve as GenderCool Project’s location for a recent docu-story. With generous support from Nike, the GenderCool docu-story is now a commercial that will run on several national networks.

The GenderCool Project is a youth-led movement bringing positive change to the world. The Champions are helping replace misinformed opinions with positive experiences meeting transgender and non-binary youth who are thriving.

Check out the commercial that is running now:
