Minneapolis Neighborhood Green Teams

Mpls Neighborhood Green Teams 

​Minneapolis Climate Action is the coordinator for Minneapolis Green Team, in collaboration with the Alliance for Sustainability.  Green Teams meetings are a space for Minneapolis neighborhood environment committees to come together on a quarterly basis to share strategies to improve our communities through innovative climate and environmental action.
Green Teams work to:
  • ​Share techniques and tips for successful outreach and effective engagement.
  • Leverage our voice to support our neighborhood initiatives, goals, and projects.
  • Build skills in communicating about difficult environmental topics.
  • ​Create community and support for each other as we address our environmental opportunities and challenges. ​

​These meetings are intended for official Minneapolis neighborhood organizations and associations, but all are welcome to learn and to share challenges and successes.
