What is Green Thinkers?

Green Thinkers is 6-week programme for 18-30 year olds living in Plymouth.

Through a range of learning activities and hands on work experience, young people learn about working with green spaces, gain industry insight and develop the skills to secure a job that’s just right for them.

Hear more about what happens on the programme from one of our fabulous Green Thinkers, Marissa Gonzalez. Marissa reported back about a day of apple harvesting at Saltram House.

Previous Green Thinker participants have even made a leaflet to give you some tips and tricks to getting into Environmental Jobs.
