Our Mission
Are you concerned about environmental issues in your city?
Feeling overwhelmed by the magnitude of the problem?
Unsure how to get involved? No worries!
GreenUR is committed to engaging High School Youth in an Experiential Learning environment to create Innovative Solutions to issues around waste management! When we feel motivated and actually enjoy what we are learning, we feel more hopeful for positive changes in the future! So let’s start with mentally reframing waste management, make it fun, make it engaging, and we CAN change the world, one person at a time!
