The Green Infrastructure Training Program is run by Groundwork Denver, a nonprofit focused on improving the environment.
“It’s been funded by the EPA and the goal of the program is to engage with underserved young adults aged 18 to 24 from the Metro Denver region,” said Gabe Catenacci, GRIT project coordinator for Groundwork Denver. “Over the course of eight to 10 weeks, we've worked with our project partners to provide training on green infrastructure. Green infrastructure can include anything related to public works that helps solve environmental issues.
Catenacci says at the end of the program, graduates receive certifications and are introduced to local employers. “I really wanted to help my community, and I live in Montbello,” GRIT graduate Julieta Torres said. “Planting trees, working in energy, seeing how we can save residents money or what we can fix to our best abilities…that's what I really like, and I hope I can keep working on that in the future.”“I'm hoping to get into administration,” Atwood said. “I enjoy being outside and meeting people.
