Bringing Kansas City Kids Back to Nature
About Green Works in Kansas City
Green Works in Kansas City was founded in 2007 with a mission to connect urban youth to nature and the emerging green economy. Over nearly two decades, the organization evolved continuously in response to the changing needs of Kansas City’s young people – and leaves behind a legacy of thousands of lives touched.
Our Children Need Nature
Let's Get More Of Them Outside!
Kids are spending more time than ever indoors, on screens, and isolated from their peers. What’s more, many families living in low-income neighborhoods don’t have safe, nearby access to nature.
Green Works knows that kids need nature, and for almost two decades, we have nurtured Kansas City kids by getting them outside and teaching them to care for the environment in a social setting with peers and positive adult role models.
Donate now and join us in combatting nature deprivation in Kansas City kids.
