Grades of Green – Verte 2015 Fundraiser

Our guest this morning is Emily Gee, Marketing and Movement Manager for Grades of Green. Emily has a passion to create environmental change in our community, and feels  the best way to do this is through our students. Emily began interning with  Grades of Green in 2009, and was originally drawn to the nonprofit because of its  core values and mission. Truly inspired by the passion of the Directors and  motivated by the energy of the school communities, she feels Grades of Green’s  dedication to instilling environmental values is vital to affect environmental  change. A recent University of Southern California graduate, she double majored  in Public Relations and Political Science with a minor in Environmental Science  and now holds a masters degree in Strategic Public Relations. Emily worked in Los  Angeles south central public schools through the Joint Education Project (2008- 2012) and continues to help with after school tutoring and mentorship programs.  Emily has conducted environmental field research abroad in Belize (2009) and  China (2011). Her work on environmental advertising is published in the American  Political Science Association Journal (2012).  This morning, we’re going to learn about Grades of Green and talk about their big  annual fundraiser, Verte 2015. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To Find Out More about Jackie Balestra visit http://www.SouthbayByJackie.com To Find Out More about George Butts visit Web: http://www.MBCERTA.org Email: gbutts@mbcerta.org To Find Out More Your Host, Joe Terry visit On Facebook at ... http://www.Facebook.com/TheSouthBayShow
