 "e" inc. Teen Green Team expands and receives new funding!
The Mattapan-based Teen Green Team Program has begun its second year by launching a second team.
Since October, "e" inc. Lead Teacher Kim Guerra has been bringing leadership training, science learning, and community assessment to almost twenty boys and girls ages 14-18. In the past week, last year’s team has been retooling the recycling program they set up in their community center and reconnecting with the families in their area so they can get them on board with a new recycling process.
In the meantime, our newest team has been learning about leadership, choices, and personal responsibility as they begin to assess the needs of Mattapan. More stories as we go. The decision to add this second team was sparked by added funding from the New England Grassroots Environment Fund.
"e" inc. wishes to thank Mt. Washington Bank and "e" inc. for their support of "e" inc. summer forest immersion program, "Explorations in the Urban Wilds" -- our new summer program.
In particular, Mt. Washington Bank’s donation was in honor of the opening of their new branch in Jamaica Plain. Our program in the urban wilds of Allendale Woods was in response to the large need urban summer camps demonstrated for a no cost summer field experience for their campers (grades 5-12) that would let them explore a wilderness and learn by doing.
As always, Education Coordinator, Chamberlain Segrest, created a set of spectacular one-day lessons and taught the children at our partner site, Springhouse Elder Residences. Springhouse, which abuts the woods, volunteered its space as a staging site for the program all summer long.
