GCETP is designed to give participants the skills to become effective educators who teach the joys and benefits of environmentally-safe gardening and composting to communities throughout San Francisco.The GCETP program runs this spring February 25th to May 17th. Classes are held each Saturday from 10 am until 4 pm, and every other Wednesday evening throughout the training. The course combines hands-on work experience, lectures, discussions and local field trips. Program participants also serve a 50-hour volunteer commitment, which allows students to apply their skills in gardening, composting and community outreach. Additionally, curriculum includes pertinent social and environmental issues such as food security, integrated pest management, alternative design principles and resource conservation.
This is an excellent opportunity to develop the skills needed to be a crucial part of the community of environmental and social justice activists in San Francisco.
