Grades of Green Youth Corps Eco-Leadership program students participated in their first meet-up of the year at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden. Eco-Leaders were guided through a leadership workshop, and then discussed their next steps in their chosen Grades of Green Activity. The theme of the day was creating a vision, which included a session on crafting goals to meet each student’s vision for their activity. Of course, everyone got to go on a tour to explore the beautiful arboretum, and to check out the peacocks roaming the property! Take a look at photos from the afternoon here.
Thank you to the incredible sponsors who help us make this program possible: City of Santa Monica, County of Los Angeles 3rd district, County of Los Angeles 4th district, Arconic Foundation, Continental Development, Subaru Pacific, Klean Kanteen, Fresh Brothers, and Grow.
