As the weather warmed up and the spring came around, senior Michael Bido organized Great Green Help [GGH] with the goal of promting strudents to give back to local organizations.

Juniors had the opportunity to volunteer for the Great Green Help event held on April 7. Students partnered with local organizations to create a lasting impact from environmental practices.

Some volunteers were able to help organizations who focus on sustainability and accessible food resources. Bido wanted to make sure GGH gave the most possible help within just a few hours.

Even though students only helped out for one day, they still had a profound impact on the community.

“The most important benefit of the event is it creates a ripple effect for the volunteers,” Bido said. “After just a couple hours of trying something new with an organization, they might feel inspired to come back on their own or try working with even more people!”
