Programs

Greenagers | Pathways to the Trades

 Through its paid employment programs, internships and apprenticeships, Greenagers engages teens and young adults in meaningful work in environmental conservation, sustainable farming, natural resource management, and vocational skills building. 

Greenagers uses its work crew model to engage students in visits to construction sites, farms, and other workplaces that showcase the culture and environment of the trades in Berkshire County.

The program aims to connect high school students with apprenticeships in fields they identify as part of the Pathways to the Trades program. Participants receive school credit as well as a weekly stipend.
