Green Guardians: Green Career Education Center

The Green Guardians is a green career clearinghouse for people wanting to develop green community service skills such as energy efficiency, recycling, composting,tree planting, green building technology, urban agriculture, eco-literacy education, and other important career skills. We believe these green skills will become increasingly important as our natural resources get used up and climate chaos inflicts more and more damage on human society.   By connecting talented people with green organizations that can impart technical and social skills, and connecting them to green career courses at City College of San Francisco, we will create a green workforce development program with potential ramifications across the country.

I went to Whittier College for two years and took a semester off and during the fall have been at City College of San Francisco and working. So for spring the plan is to go back to Whittier. Yes I think the program is for experience but I just think…

What good things are you doing out in Stevensville? I'd imagine a large focus on Chesapeake Bay. It has come a long way in the past 10 years has it not?
