For teens and young adults, ages 16-25.

Join us for a free workshop exploring how your neighborhoods greenspaces are fighting climate change & you can take part.

You will learn about:

  • How neighborhoods experience environmental challenges
  • How community gardens fight climate change
  • How composting turns food scraps into a soil builder
  • How you can get involved in environmental work and develop a green career

At 3:30 we will take a 10-minute walk to a nearby community garden, Q Gardens, to learn about their composting bin system. Students can earn community service hours for this portion of the day.
