The Green Team’s specialist nature therapy, schools and partner programmes are at the heart of what we do. There is a growing need for us to support young people from all backgrounds.
Young people today face rising anxiety, social isolation and disengagement from traditional classroom learning. Scotland is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. Many young people spend far more time online than outdoors.
At the same time, young people care deeply about the environment:
- 78% believe looking after the environment is important
- 81% would like to do more to protect it
Whether you are a parent, carer, referral agency or school, The Green Team has a programme to suit. We provide structured, safe opportunities for young people to step outside, build skills, reconnect with nature and rediscover confidence.
To help ensure we can reach those who need us most, these programmes are either fully funded or delivered at minimal cost to participants.
