Be part of Kentucky USGBC's Green Apple Day of Service and help students, teachers, and parents across Kentucky. Your volunteer service helps Kentucky USGBC in our mission to transform schools into healthy, safe, cost-efficient and productive learning places.
- Volunteers are needed to dig a trench into which an electrical line will be installed (by professionals) from the school to the new greenhouse.
- Volunteers are also needed to build potting benches from wood for inside the greenhouse.
This is a continuation of a Green Apple Day project started last year! Science teacher Betsy Ruhe has a vision of a teaching garden and greenhouse at Indian Trail. Let's help her realize that vision.
The USGBC Green Apple Day of Service will bring together thousands of students, teachers, parents and community leaders from around the globe to improve our school environments through service projects, education, community events and more. Our vast network of champions will demonstrate the strength and breadth of our movement, leaving a meaningful and lasting local impact on our world’s schools.
