GreenBy3 is continuing the Business Partnership with Stratford High School that we began last school year. Our connection began through the school’s Building Construction Program and is now expanding to the whole school. Components of our partnership include:
Shadowing Program – students from the Building Construction Program “shadow” GreenBy3 staff and have the opportunity to observe how construction, renovation, and demolition projects progress. One day they may go with us to apply for a permit, on another day they may sit-in on a meeting with architects, and on another visit, they may help us organize reclaimed materials in the warehouse. We try to offer a “real-world’ experience to students considering careers in a related field.
Building Project for Crisis Ministries – every year, students in the Building Construction Program learn construction principles and techniques by building a shed. This year, GreenBy3 has connected the student project with a need for a storage shed at Crisis Ministries. December 16 is the projected delivery date for Crisis Ministries to receive their new shed, built by local students.
Expanded Campus-wide Recycling Program – GreenBy3 and the school are in the early stages of significantly expanding recycling program on campus. We love this project because it can get the whole school thinking green!
At GreenBy3 we try to make a positive impact on people, the community, and the environment. We have found our partnership with Stratford High School to be a good way to achieve those three goals.
