Current opportunities with Groundwork in Manchester
Make a difference as a Green Pioneer
Young people aged 14-17 can learn through both online and in person sessions about environmental issues, how to run their own projects, and at the end they’ll gain an AQA certification to get them started on their greening journey!
Make change in your neighbourhood
If you live in Wythenshawe, Gorton, Crumpsall or Harphurhey we’re keen to understand what challenges you face in your neighbourhood. Together, through the In Our Nature programme, we’ll find solutions to address these issues, tacking climate change at the same time.
Get involved in West Gorton’s Green Community Hub
If you live in West Gorton you’ve probably visited the new community park. We’re working with the new Friends Of group to make this fantastic greenspace a ‘Green Community Hub’.
Drop in to our youth club
We run weekly youth clubs in Chorlton and Crumpsall for young people aged 11-18 where we host a range of activities from video games to cooking to crafts. Drop in and say hello!
Join our Facebook community!
We set up the Greening Greater Manchester Facebook Group as an online space where everyone can share their ideas on how to make Trafford greener and more resilient to the effects of climate change. Please join & share your ideas!
