07/31/2016 | Sierra Club San Francisco Bay Chapter Recognizes YGG!
We're pleased to announce that Sierra Club San Francisco Bay Chapter will be recognizing Youth Going Green, a youth-focused waste-reduction program based in Oakland.
Their work with elementary, middle school, and high school students fosters a sense of ecological awareness and environmental stewardship in the North Oakland community. These traits are increasingly essential as we continue to navigate the relationship between our expanding communities and the natural systems that define our beautiful region. The inspiring work of Youth Going Green serves to instill these values in the next generation of engaged citizens.
Their great work would not take place without the support of Sister Marilyn, Sister Tiffany, and all the adults who encourage their ideas, engagement, and impact!
Read the MTC Announcement and view the Sierra Club's website for ticket information.
