Seed Green Jobs Information Campaign

What problem would you like to solve?

Recent legislation will be funding green job growth, however many youth may not be connected to this information.. as to how or where to find those jobs.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

Unemployment and those who have never been employed is very high amongst 16-24 year old population. Green jobs are a high growth industry; and the young need to know and have pipelines to apply.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Form an empowerment among youth services and providers of green job advocates and partnering with other industries to get the word out.

Who would that help?

Young workers, their families and communities.

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?
