ABOUT Green Opportunites (GO)
The Asheville Green Opportunities Training Team (Asheville GO) is a paid job training and placement program designed to prepare unemployed, out-of-school young adults in and around Asheville for living wage jobs in the rapidly expanding green economy.

The hands-on curriculum combines service projects, life skills training, support services, and on-the-job experience in promising fields like green construction, clean energy, recycling, ecological landscaping and restoration, and sustainable agriculture.

WHY GO?
The green economy is growing fast, creating thousands of green-collar jobs that pay a living wage, offer advancement opportunities, and serve the community and the planet. These jobs represent important "pathways out of poverty" for members of our communities who have traditionally struggled under the "gray," pollution-based economy.  Asheville GO is designed to empower individuals with barriers to employment through a combination of service-learning projects, on-the-job training and one-on-one support.

We'd like to thank The Market Place Restaurant, and everyone who attended our first ever social event!  With over 100 attendees, the evening was a huge success.  It was great to see you all out, and to get a chance to know some of our supporters.  We are looking forward to a successful season, and hope to see you for more events like this one soon!
