Teen Korps Entrepreneurs Celebrate Environmental Stewardship through Green Korps Fest – “Green Scene”
On Sunday November 15th Teen Korps members held the first Green Korps Festival Presented by SDG&E an environmental education celebration targeted at all ages and members of the community. The event was sponsored by SDG&E, with support from the County of San Diego & District 3 Supervisor Pam Slater-Price and crafted by our Teen Korps Entrepreneurs underwritten by Starbuck’s.and featured interactive displays designed and built by teens to showcase going and living green.
Teen Korps Entrepreneurs worked for 2 months to raise awareness for several nonprofit environmental service organizations including: San Diego Coast Keepers, Zoological Society of San Diego, California Center for Sustainable Energy, I Love a Clean San Diego/San Diego Coast Keepers and Solana Center for Environmental Innovation.
Along with environmental education from our teens, chapter youth and community attendees learned how to save water and energy through SDG&E, made seed balls to restore natural habitats through the Wildlife Research Institute, built bicycles for youth at the Sudanese Community Center and discovered what it means to be a green business through Starbucks.
