“We are hard workers and we can make it happen!” - Green Team Member 2024
Green Team 2024 wrapped up at the end of August after a summer that our Green Teamers will not forget. Groundwork Erie employed and educated 15 Green Team Members for 10 weeks between June, July, and August of 2024. Green Teamers had one hour of educational time to begin every day where we had 13 guest speakers volunteer to speak to our Green Teamers on topics such as diversity, city of Erie characteristics, financial management, local organizations and initiatives, watersheds, ecosystems, soil composition, compost, brownfields, food access, interview skills, and more! Students learned a lot from these speakers and also from the field trips our team was able to take throughout the summer.
