We team up with Groundwork Erie for another night of Benevolent Beers!Groundwork Erie works to bring about the sustained regeneration, improvement, and management of the physical environment by developing community-based partnerships that empower people, businesses, and organizations to promote environmental, economic, and social well-being. We primarily employ and train young people and community members in projects that help create an Erie where all residents can access clean air, water, and soil. They envision an Erie where access to these things is not dependent on the neighborhood you live in.
Funds raised will support their environmental workforce programming for young people. Benevolent Beers funds would directly support their Green Team and Ground Corps Programs. Green Teamers are 14-18 years old and will work 15-20 hours per week in the summer on community projects like the 4th Community Street Farm, Pay What You Can Stands, Community Forestry initiatives, litter pick-ups, water monitoring, and environmental and climate education. Their Ground Corps program will launch this year and will employ 18-24-year-olds in a green workforce development program. Ground Corps Members will receive on-the-job training with projects like tree planting, tree maintenance, and green infrastructure projects within the city of Erie and make a direct impact on Erie's environment through their work.
Every sale rung in between 5:00pm and 8:00pm will provide a donation to this group.
