Girls Gone Green
THE ORGANIC WOMEN OF THE GREEN SCHEME
Women are an integral component in the
environmental sustainability and health movement that is gaining momentum
across the globe. This spring, The Green Scheme is starting a women’s group “Girls Gone Green” that will be geared towards bringing women together from across the
District to discuss the current health climate that children, families and
women face in today’s society. We will be providing a communal space in which
women can learn from one another’s experiences and use their stories and
backgrounds to enhance the communal space that we will be providing. Through
education, environmental/health stewardship training and leadership
opportunities, our hope is to make sure every women in the DMV has the access
and space to be environmental leaders in their own communities. Women’s
empowerment is important to The Green Scheme because we believe that when women
are doing well and are granted equal access and opportunity in their
communities, communities thrive and change for the better. Green Scheme’s
Director of Education Quiana Newby will be working closely with our President
and Deputy Director Ronnie Webb and Jerome Nesbitt to engage with women across
the District in order to empower communities in a diverse social setting. We
are writing a call of action to get as many women involved in our urban
agriculture movement! If you are interested in learning how to garden,
cooking/baking healthy food options, learning about urban agriculture, having
conversations about women’s empowerment and seeking a community of women with
similar goals and ideas, please contact info@Thegreenscheme.org. We will continue to update our site with information
regarding the “Girls Gone Green” Women’s Group but please feel free to reach out
to our group for dates, times, etc. For more information about The Green Scheme
and our future programs follow us on Facebook and Instagram @TheGreenScheme.
