Funds raised at Benevolent Beers will support Groundwork’s environmental workforce programming for young people. Benevolent Beers funds would directly support their Green Team and Ground Corps Programs. Green Teamers are 14-18 years old and will work 15-20 hours per week in the summer on community projects like the 4th Community Street Farm, Pay What You Can Stands, Community Forestry initiatives, litter pick-ups, water monitoring, and environmental and climate education. Their Ground Corps program will launch this year and will employ 18-24-year-olds in a green workforce development program. Ground Corps Members will receive on-the-job training with projects like tree planting, tree maintenance, and green infrastructure projects within the city of Erie and make a direct impact on Erie's environment through their work.

Every sale rung in between 5:00pm and 8:00pm will provide a donation to Groundwork Erie! Join us!
