Green Team
Groundwork Milwaukee’s Green Team is a seven week service-learning program that engages 14 to 19 year-olds living in Groundwork’s most engaged communities. The program's dual goals are to prepare youth for a lifetime of environmental leadership and to develop community capacity to improve the physical environment. Green Team members are immersed in Groundwork practical projects and act as Groundwork employees, neighborhood stewards, and mentors to elementary-aged youth in their neighborhoods.
The application for our Green Team is NOW OPEN! The deadline to apply is 11:59pm CST on April 27th, 2024!
What makes Green Team unique?
Our Green Team programming teaches young people both hard and soft skills that apply across a number of sectors.
Youth development is a core value at Groundwork Milwaukee, therefore the success of our Green Team is one of our highest priorities within the organization.
The purpose of our work with Green Team is to establish long-term relationships and engagement well beyond one summer of programming.
We are intentional about engaging our young people’s entire ecosystem. We understand that they exist as whole people both within our organization, and when they go home.
