Our Mission
Green Works in Kansas City is the dedicated leader in engaging urban youth in sustainable environmental stewardship and the green economy.  Through science-based experiential learning and paid internship opportunities, young adults learn to care for the environment, experience meaningful career ladders, gain skills that assist them in becoming productive employees, and provide direct community benefits for all of us by improving the urban environment. 

Green Works also works with individual citizens, families, neighborhoods and organizations through informal science education to enhance community awareness and support of environmental education and workforce priorities, and inspire increased environmental stewardship and respect.
