Green Team Youth Program
The Groundwork Indy Green Team program is intended to promote awareness and understanding of the natural environment, local food systems, and the protection and restoration of critical ecological systems and natural resources in the community through hands on improvement programs. Through the Indy Green Team Summer Program youth will be encouraged to become engaged members of the community by solving environmental issues especially those issues concerning the Northwest area as well as preparing for educational and career success in alternative “green” sector and environmental pathways.
