Campaign by Story
The Green Team connects young people with nature. We provide structured, safe opportunities to step outside, take a breath, have fun, build skills and confidence.
‘Everyone’s got different backgrounds. We all come from different places, and we all get on so well it’s like absolutely amazing and I just love it… It’s the best thing that’s happened to me in a long time.’ Green Team programme participant
YOUNG PEOPLE today face rising anxiety, social isolation and disengagement. Many spend far more time online than outdoors. Scotland is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world and young people care deeply about the environment:
• 78% believe looking after the environment is important
• 81% would like to do more to protect it
YOUR SUPPORT TODAY helps us grow access for those that need us most, strengthen learning pathways and ensure that every young person who wants to protect the environment has the opportunity to step outside, learn and grow.
“I love doing this every week because it clears my mind from other stuff… It’s really hard sometimes but when I come here, it’s just like boom — it’s gone.”
“I joined for the team and stayed for the green.”
The voices of our young people matter; they help us shape and plan what we do and they remind us that time in nature is not a luxury. It is a powerful tool for building confidence, resilience, belonging and hope.
THANK YOU for helping The Green Team do more
