In their own words:
“Groundwork is a noun that means the early work done to prepare for later work. Groundwork is work that also prepares you… so you can have the skills for a future job. Groundwork is a fun thing to do as a summer job. It helps you build up characteristics, confidence and effort.” - Malek
“We are hard workers. We can make it happen.” - Green Teamer
“My experience so far has taught me to respect nature more and shows how much people harm nature every day… it feels good to be able to fix everything going on and to give an example of what everyone should do to gather as many people as possible to make the world look better.” - Amani
I love seeing the before and after of the work that we’re doing in the community. - Elaudia
