"Being a part of Green Team has shaped the person I am. I have been given many new opportunities through Groundwork. I have grown as a public speaker, as a steward of Costello Urban Farm, as a friend, and as one of the many growing youth leaders of Lawrence. I have gained so many new friendships and skills that will last me a lifetime," Juana, Green Team member.
