Cleaner Greener Hood

Hosted By: Loretta A.

Program for Ages: 10 to 19 Years Old.

Cleaner Greener Hood aims to empower and educate low-income youth in Rexdale about environmental education and advocacy. The goal is to have a 3-day clean-up targeting areas. Followed by an in-person workshop with industry professionals to educate, and empower youth on the importance of climate change, environmental cleanliness, and the future of our planet.

Addressing Community Needs:

The empowerment of knowledge and social inclusion is something I advocate for within our black community. Our youth are less likely to get access to systematic resources. This project will address climate change which I consider a social issue that impacts our community in many ways.
