Green Trek

FUN EXERCISE - ENVIRONMENT CONSERVATION - VOLUNTEER HOURS - COMMUNICATION & DISCUSSIONS

Green Trek Presentation

  • One of our oldest and yet most underrated programs
  • Green Trek was born in 2021 out of the boredom of pandemic isolation and became a whole lot more
  • Every Saturday, weather permitted,
    – We collect trash across 15+ trails throughout the Bay Area, with an emphasis on East Bay parks in recent years
    – It encourages everyone to ditch their screens and engage in healthy exercise while conserve the environment at the same time
    – Volunteers can accumulate service hours towards volunteer awards at a rapid rate
    – The program is the perfect venue for teenagers and parents to communicate with each other, and has become the unofficial organizational forum mechanism. All but two FUN Youth programs were born out the discussions song the trails of Green Trek
  • Email admin@funyouth.us for links to our Whatsapp / Wechat groups, where sign up information is published every week.
