The leadership and empowerment experienced as part of our program will be like no other! You will have the unique experience to be part of every step in the process as part of your service; identifying community needs, planning projects, providing hands on service support, and evaluating your impacts. Our program hopes to train the next generation of ‘green-collar’ workers through a combination of field trips, presentations, and hands-on learning. Members have the opportunity to build leadership abilities through specific coordinator roles, which allow each member to contribute unique skills to the program. Members have access to free trainings, valued certifications, and time dedicated to a professional development plan uniquely tailored to allow members to pursue individual trainings for their long term career goals.
