Syatt

Tuesday started off with a visit to the polls to VOTE! Then we put our educator hats on…grading papers, making adjustments to assignments, and reviewing student presentation drafts.

Then we had an internal meeting of the minds on all things strategy, summer program planning, and connecting loose ends.

After that, we headed downtown for a meeting with one of our faves, County Executive Ronayne.

And what else is there to do on a Tuesday that falls on the 5th of May? Yup, we ended the day celebrating/refueling with family and friends.

It’s called work-life balance! ❤️

This weekend was a reminder that Syatt is more than youth recreational opportunities. Syatt is about connection, education, access, and creating a better future WITH (not for) our communities.

On Saturday, we were on the Southeast side of Cleveland for Canalway Partners' 2026 River Sweep. We worked alongside workers representing Pipefitters Local 120, residents from Miles Heights (Miles Heights Development Corporation ), Syatt family and friends, and juniors and seniors from Brecksville-Broadview Hts Heights High School to care for the Johnston Run tributary.

We followed that up with water safety and beginner swim instruction at Cleveland State University in partnership with Buckeye HEAL! Shoutout to Cleveland State University's Swim the Gap program. This work allows us to teach water safety and help to change the culture of Cleveland into a true coastal city where our people feel safe around and connected to the water.

This is also part of our work with the Cuyahoga County's Freshwater Institute, where we’re helping shape the next generation of leaders who understand and protect our greatest resource.

Sooo, what did you do this weekend?

Here's an idea, this week follow along as we share more about the work Syatt does beyond what you may already know.
