SUCCESS STORY
Green Collar Training and Micro-Enterprise Development
(Washington, DC)- D.C. Greenworks developed a micro-enterprise program  
that provides training opportunities in low-impact environmental  
technologies such as greenroofs, rain gardens, downspout  
disconnection, tree planting and maintenance, riparian restoration,  
and permeable paving. Trainees work on D.C. Greenworks contracts with  
local government agencies, private consumers, and businesses. The  
program targets local at-risk young adults for training.
