2017 Summer Recap Of the Code Green Program
As
we transition into the fall and winter programming seasons we wanted to take
some time to highlight a LIT
Summer for making our communities healthier. The Green Scheme successfully implemented its
Code Green Program in six different locations across DC, Maryland and VA. The
Green Scheme was able to service 1301 youth in our Code Green summer camps and
extended day programs.
This summer The Green Scheme partnered with DPR (Department
of Parks and Recs) to implement a summer camp and tour at the Lederer
Garden which is located in Ward 7 on Nannie Helen Burroughs Ave NE Washington
DC. The garden has over 40 raised beds, commercial green house, composting
stations, fruit trees, rain barrels and a bee hive on site. We are able to
service 300 youth and 60 consolers from varies DPR camps.
We received a great opportunity to partner with DOEE (Department
Of Energy and Environment) to provide technical assistances and training to
their summer youth works and staff. We implemented a four part social impact
and entrepreneur based workshops to 20 teens and their staff in the month of
July at McKinley Tech High School in NE Washington DC.
This summer we partnered with Lee Montessori Public
Charter School to do an environmental summer camp three days a week. Lee is
located in the Brookland community across from Catholic University in NE
Washington DC. We are happy to say we
serviced 540 youth and provided technical assistance and staff training as well
six environmentally focused field trips throughout the summer.
Finally
The Green Scheme has a garden location in PG county partnering with the Glenarden
Woods Community this summer to build and implement our Code Green
Program. 36 youth from the local
community were able to participate in the program this summer. Glenarden Woods is located off MLK Ave across
from Glenarden Baptist Church.
