Center for Peace Through Culture - Greenagers
Our Purpose
To strengthen the environment and our community. Greenagers is a program built on two ethics: service and stewardship. Within these ethics local youth find programs that build work skills, improve their community, engage them as stewards of the environment, and garner community recognition of their efforts. Our projects engage youth in debate and thought about their place in our community and our community's place in the world.
Summary of Projects
Greenagers received a grant in 2009 to work with local, volunteer youth to plan and install front lawn vegetable gardens in the community with priority given to underserved residents.
