On August 14th, we had a great exchange and presentation, with each of these participants - David Afable - Diana Chang - Andrew Fenster - Camille Heyboer - Morgan Leykam - demonstrating how their Green Map was created and how it worked. It was exciting to see how much was accomplished!

Along with students in the Red Hook Green Map project, Jordan Pender and Sarit Platkin presented the night before with Congresswoman Nydia Velaquez and other officials and parents in attendance in Brooklyn. Here are links to the interactive Open Green Maps they created:

Red Hook Brooklyn

Northeast Permaculture & Urban Eco Agriculture

Syracuse University Area

Utica NY

Joining the internship event were Green Map staff, who took part in the training sessions as well as the season's end review.

More about this program and its diverse outcomes will be added here soon. If you would like to know more about the resources and outcomes available, click GreenMap.org/youth and explore adaptable tools, videos and media resources, and a wide rage of youth-authored Green Maps.
