Living Greener Project

​Program Description
The Community Education Center is partnering with an environmental conservation nonprofit, Headwaters Charitable Trust, to develop a new project called Living Greener. This holistically centered life skills training program is designed to connect 18-24 year olds who are experiencing barriers to adult transition with jobs that support a green economy. In addition to employment, participants will be connected to:
  • A total of 24 hours of life skills training classes
  • An assigned Occupational Skills Mentor with weekly check-ins
  • Referrals to additional wrap-around supportive services as needed
The four program components will function as a team to holistically promote participants’ personal and professional growth.  Overall, this program provides increased opportunities for participants to gain insight and appreciation into the region’s careers and major industries including manufacturing, powder metal, healthcare, lumber and wood, water quality, and entrepreneurship, while promoting awareness of our abundant natural resources.
Our Mission
Living Greener empowers individuals to grow in their personal and professional lives. We are committed to giving individuals the skills needed to engage in the employment, enjoyment, and ecology of the region.
How Can You Help?
Living Greener needs you! We rely on our dedicated volunteers to help run this program. We are always looking for Occupational Skills Mentors and Life Skills Trainers to work with our participants. 
For more information about volunteer opportunities, visit the “Get Involved” tab of www.hwct.org.  You can also contact Bri Pursley at (540) 292-5630 or bripursley@hwct.org.
