>> "Green Team" Workshops<<

Many faith groups already have a "creation care" or "faith and society" or "Green Team" committee or action group.

GINI provides on-site workshops on how to start a sustainability team, or how to strengthen an existing effort.  Contact GINI for further help or to request a GINI volunteer to come present at your church!

There are many resources on this website too.
