Empowering Youth to Lead Buffalo’s Environmental Future
The Green Team program is at the heart of Groundwork Buffalo’s mission to foster a more sustainable and resilient community. Through this initiative, we train and employ local youth to take an active role in revitalizing Buffalo’s neighborhoods by working on impactful environmental projects. From planting trees to managing urban gardens, our Green Team members gain hands-on experience in environmental stewardship while building valuable life and career skills. Together, they’re not just changing landscapes—they’re shaping the future of Buffalo’s green economy.
Groundwork Buffalo has had an incredibly successful year, continuing our mission to create sustainable urban environments in Greater Buffalo through community involvement and youth empowerment. Our Green Team, a group of dedicated young individuals from the Mayor Summer Youth Program, has been at the forefront of our efforts, leading a range of environmental projects throughout the city and beyond.
Our Green Team members have not only worked hard on environmental projects but also embarked on personal journeys of growth and leadership:
Community Impact
Through our partnerships with local organizations and community gardens, Groundwork Buffalo has made significant strides in addressing food insecurity. This year, we donated around 400 pounds of fresh produce from our various gardens, ensuring that healthy food is accessible to those in need.
Groundwork Buffalo remains committed to transforming urban spaces, empowering youth, and fostering sustainability across the region. Our partnerships, gardens, and community-based projects are not just about planting seeds in the ground but also planting seeds of change in the hearts of our youth and neighborhoods.
Together, we are building a cleaner, greener Buffalo!
