UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE
Growing eco-conscious leaders.
Our Greenhive Leadership Program is a 10-week workforce development program which fosters an environment of transformation to help the next generation of eco-advocate young adults gain knowledge, connections, and confidence to be active thought leaders in their community. Now in its 4th cohort, our future list of colleges and universities will build on our pilot sites at Agnes Scott College, Emory University, and Georgia State University.
Through weekly training sessions and a final Capstone project, young leaders get hands-on experience designing, installing, maintaining, and advocating for better landscapes, while working side-by-side with other students to engage and educate public school children, and gain crucial leadership skills. Our program provides a structured format for college-aged leaders to become directly engaged in the ecological work being done in their own community, all while being paid to make our world a greener, more sustainable place.
