More Than A Job, Teens Go Green For The Summer

Co-Executive Director Tanner Yess and Summer Green Team youth employees, Daniel and Althaea were interviewed on WVXU on the topic of environmental justice, summer projects and impact. Listen here!

From WVXU.org:

“It's been a summer of planting trees, removing more than 1,000 pounds of trash from city parks and installing rain gardens. Now some of the young members of the Green Team are ready for the next adventure, traveling to Yellowstone National Park.

Groundwork Ohio River Valley works with young people, called the Green Team, to improve and maintain community spaces in the neighborhoods where they live. This summer, 75 youth employees spread throughout the region took on environmental projects from clearing invasive species to planting vegetables.”
