Youth Venture

Hey!
I'm Jessie, YV_Jen told me to get in touch with you because you have a great idea to get your community to go green! My venture, Green Teens, does the same thing here in CT. If you need any help, or want to share some ideas feel free to message me or leave me a comment. Maybe we can colaborate and work on a joint project in both our communities sometime!?!

Well,
hope to talk to you soon,
Jess

Hey there! Sorry for the belated reply! :-X Solar panels and roof-top gardens sound like a really great way to conserve energy and shift our reliance to renewable energy. Great idea! Have you completed your action plan? Let us know if you have any questions about it. The deadline for the Lorax Challenge is coming up really quickly and we hope you enter!

Also, I just noticed that you need networking help. Have you tried contact Jessie? She is a VIP and she started her won venture to help her community go green. She's a great person to contact for advice. ^_^

To answer your question, I live in Lincoln Heights, which is about 10 minutes (4-5 miles) northeast of Downtown LA.

Hi Panch0!! Welcome to GenV.net!! I live in California too! Lived here all my life. :-) How do you plan to inspire your community to pursue a greener world? Will you building community gardens? Helping to install solar panels? Selling reusable grocery bags? Like Kumar mentioned below, I highly recommend that you look into the Lorax Challenge. Great way to get seed funding to start your venture! Also, don't forget to join the environment interest group. We have some very helpful venturers who can share their experiences about launching a green venture. Let me know if I can help with anything... ^_^

Francisco, this is great! We actually have a challenge going on for environmental Ventures called the Dr. Seuss Lorax Challenge that would be perfect for you! Check it out at www.genv.net/en-us/lorax and let me know if you have any questions!!

Thanks for commenting on the grants page! What kind of Venture do you want to start? Thanks!
