Employment opportunities for youth in Boston’s historic parks!
The Green Team Summer Program combines nature connection, environmental education, team building and work skills development into a unique program. During the six-week intensive program, youth crew members meet for a total of 25 hours each week for outdoor activities. Summer Green Team Program applicants must be Boston residents and between the ages of 14-18 years old.
Green Team crew members receive an environmental education with nature connection activities woven into the program in order to build an awareness and understanding of natural systems. Crew members are divided into groups and learn and work under the guidance of crew leaders.
