And we strengthened the capacity of the MVLNCI organization. 2016 Goals, Launch the Connection to Nature Site Certification Pilot for school, parks and Libraries. Measure progress with numbers of schools, parks and libraries who have completed the bronze level or above certification. Volunteers joining our team will be welcomed into the Miami Valley Leave No Child Inside Movement. Metric One Count number of new signatories to Ohio Leave No Child Inside’s Ohio Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights including places of worship, schools, park districts, businesses etc. in addition to public municipalities. Signatories of endorsement of these rights will be added to a database and given a poster to display their endorsement of these rights. In addition, signatories will earn an MVLNCI and DRG “Connect to Nature Certification” of efforts to enable these rights with bronze, silver, gold and platinum levels. The levels will be earned by taking any one of these actions with each action taken earning the progressions of certification.
