Green Teenz

In Spring 2009, the EJ League teamed up with the Providence Housing Authority, Media, Youth, Television (MyTV), and Rhode Island Legal Services for GREEN TEENZ, a youth program focused on environmental issues and media.  The 10 participating youth gained the skills to produce their own videos, and learned a lot about their environment and how they can make it safer and healthier.

The Program:
Green Teenz was a 10-week program held on Mondays and Fridays from 3:30-5:00 pm, beginning on March 30, 2009.  With additional funding we hope to continue Green Teenz in the future.

Students who participate for the full 10 weeks will receive a $100 stipend upon completion of the program.
