Create a Green Team

What is a Green Team?

A Green Team is a group of individuals within a place of worship that work together to coordinate greening efforts. It may be a sub-committee of another group or it may stand alone within the faith community. Green Teams can be made up of anyone interested in the greening process and may include members of other committees such as social action/community, building/property, worship, education, etc. It is important to establish a Green Team Leader to help coordinate the team efforts and liaise with Greening Sacred Spaces staff.

Faith and the Common Good has developed a comprehensive guide for developing a green team as well as detailed information on Steps to Greening for the Green Team. See also "How to Develop a 'Green Team' in Your Faith Community".

Do I need to be part of a Green Team to join the Greening Sacred Spaces Network?

You can register as an individual, but we encourage you to join or help create a Green Team within your faith community. Please see our resources on how to develop a Green Team. If you are uncertain whether or not your faith community currently has a Green Team, you might consider searching the Faith Community Profiles to see if your community has already created an online profile with our network.

How do I register my Green Team with Greening Sacred Spaces?

Once you've established a Green Team or are in the beginning stages, join the Greening Sacred Spaces network on-line and register your Green Team. Once registered, you will be able to create a profile for your faith community green team to track progress, link with other green teams, and access additional tools and resources.
