MILE HIGH YOUTH CORPS: OVERVIEW

GREEN-COLLAR JOBS PROVIDE PROMISE FOR THE FUTURE
Mile High Youth Corps engages youth in jobs that help the planet and provide pathways to a promising future.

WHAT ARE GREEN-COLLAR JOBS?
Green-collar jobs are blue-collar jobs in green industries. The “green” in green-collar is about preserving and enhancing environmental quality. Green-collar jobs are in the growing industries that are helping us kick the oil habit, curb greenhouse-gas emissions, eliminate toxins, and protect natural systems. Like traditional blue-collar jobs, green-collar jobs range from low-skill, entry-level positions to high-skill, higher-paid jobs, and include opportunities for advancement in both skills and wages.
