Description
Pilgrim's Progress Community Development Corporation, Inc. (PPCDC) has a program specifically for youth aged 12-18 years of age called the PBC Youth Green Team (Green Team). This group has approximately 30 active youth who are committed to driving Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in their community.
The Green Team is an initiative that leverages young, black men and women’s organizing skills, leadership potential, and political power to influence and positively impact the community. The goals of the campaign are to scale up energy efficiency work with residents and houses of worship, especially those in underserved communities that face economic and environmental divestment. This project supports electricity cost savings and clean energy for the East Central neighborhood of Fort Wayne, where 44% of its residents live below the poverty line.
