As technology and science bloom, the world has begun to take more notice of environmental issues. Cities like San Francisco strive to improve the situation by encouraging environmentally-friendly buildings, electric cars and public transportation, while scientists across the globe look into new, less harmful energy sources that can be used on a daily basis.
Many real estate developers also have a significant presence in the ecological sector. Architects and developers like Todd Jersey, Janna Bullock and Barley and Pfeifffer are committed to creating beautiful and practical structures and interiors while protecting the environment. Recently, other organizations have put effort into this concept as well.
Worcester YouthBuild is a program working to incorporate environmental awareness by providing education and job-training in the field. Working alongside Saint-Gobain and CertainTeed, YouthBuild was recently granted $100,000 in support of their work.
The program presents its students with opportunities to build or renovate buildings that are environmentally conscious in their neighborhoods, as well as to gain experience, jobs and credentials. The experience also boosts the students’ leadership skills.
Vice President of Communications for Saint-Gobain Karen Cawkwell said “YouthBuild USA has made a tremendous impact in rebuilding the lives and communities of low-income, disconnected young adults. It is a true honor to partner with such an esteemed organization. We are particularly amazed by the resiliency demonstrated by the students of Worcester YouthBuild.
