Descriptions: Learn about the inner-workings of The Green Project by helping in our lumberyard, warehouse, and paint recycling center. While our needs change daily, this tends to be physical work (but only heavy lifting if you want to build big muscles). This is an excellent opportunity to have a hands-on experience with an environmental nonprofit.
Product of Partnership: Help with TGP's programs
Final Product Special Instructions:Students will help with our materials in the lumberyard, warehouse, and paint recycling center. Our work tends to be a bit dirtier than others, but it is a wonderful way to get involved in the environmental movement on a community level.
