Union of Youth

The Northfield Skateboard Coalition continued its busy summer schedule by cleaning up the downtown riverwalks for part of its Green Team Award responsibilities. A group of about 15 kids ranging from ages 7 to 19 braved the heat and humidity by sweeping, picking up garbage and recycling, and celebrating a job well done by eating at Hogan Brothers. The Coalition was selected by Waste Management as the recipient for the May-July Green Team Award. The Skateboard Coalition has been responsible for periodically monitoring the recycling bin at Econofoods and encouraging everyone to drop off their paper and cardboard products. The Coalition has also been responsible in incorporating service projects that promote a cleaner environment and recycling.
