The Greening Project​

This summer employment program is designed to give 14-15 year olds hands-on career experience via gardening, nutrition and an environmental education-based curriculum. Participants learn to discover the history of and help maintain local natural reserves and make weekly day trips to wildlife sanctuaries and public works facilities to learn about career options and do different service projects. 

July through August weekdays 9:00am-4:00pm.

Must be a White Plains resident, 14 or 15 years of age with a valid blue work permit. Youth must also be able to commit to the six week summer job schedule.
