The ALCC Denver Chapter worked alongside students in the Career Pathway Program at Green Mountain High School, Lakewood. The project built upon work begun last year and will create more outdoor learning areas where students can practice hands-on landscape skills. More than two dozen member companies participated in the project, with volunteers arriving at dawn to start work. Together they built raised planting beds, planted fruit trees, and installed paths connecting the learning stations. They also prepped an area for a chicken coop to be installed later this spring. The program at Green Mountain High School, led by Courtney Mayo, was one of the first schools to offer a landscape course through ALCC’s pathway program. In addition to supporting hands-on education with outdoor classrooms, ALCC members have volunteered their time by conducting mock job interviews with students. The interviews helped students build the soft skills necessary to land a position that can lead to a career.
