Groundwork "Green Team"
If over 18 years of age, please visit our "Get Involved" page.

“If it wasn’t for all the opportunities this program has given me, I probably would not be where I am now; going to college, learning new life skills & simply progressing. You guys are truly an inspiration and I am just glad I am here today.”- Holly Keuth, Green Team member since 2012

Serving Richmond Youth:

Perhaps the most important work we do is with our youth Green Team. Our Green Team is comprised of local students, ages 13- 19, engaged in service-learning opportunities. The Green Team participates in environmental stewardship projects, relevant pre-employment training, community art projects, and STEAM education; all while getting exposed to the world of careers in the outdoors. Members are eligible for opportunities like:
  • Work Experience & Recreational Opportunities at National Parks
  • Participation in Youth Leadership Summits
  • Paid Internships
  • Education Enrichment
    ​
With the above average crime rates in our community - the overall crime rate in Richmond is 47% higher than the national average - joining the Green Team creates a safe place for high school aged youth. It serves as a gateway to opportunities that they may not have otherwise had in their schools or in their personal lives. By providing our students with educational and career opportunities, we have been able to “change lives”.
