Minnesota GreenCorps

Annie, an energy conservation and green transportation member serving at Minneapolis Public Schools, spent the first month of her service term gearing up for a “Let’s Roll” bike event with the school district. In the lead up to the event, Annie visited 4th and 5th grade gym classes to assist with their biking units, utilizing the district’s bike fleet to teach safe biking skills to students. The impact of Annie’s service culminated at “Let’s Roll MPS” in October, where she biked alongside many of the students she had taught. In total, 200 Minneapolis Public School students, teachers, staff, and families gathered together for the celebration. We are seeking two members to join this topic area in 2025!

During topic training last week, energy conservation and green transportation members learned about Fleet and Surplus Services at the State of Minnesota, including how they choose and distribute electric vehicles for departments and how they assist with the redistribution, reuse and disposal of state and federal surplus property. They then learned about the MPCA’s VW settlement and dove deeper into sustainability and environmental justice initiatives. #GreenTransportation #Sustainability #EnvironmentalJustice #MNGreenCorps #AmeriCorps
