Phyllis Wheatley Community Center
The Dream, Explore, Connect! Out-of-School Program incorporated green education into classes for 4th-12th graders and added an additional green entrepreneurship class called, Grow-a-Business. After being trained by Hennepin County staff on toxicity, hazardous waste, and waste reduction, staff then gave the same presentation and distributed information materials and spray bottles to the domestic violence and women's anger management programs. They also presented it during parent's night for Mary T. Wellcome early childhood education program for both the parents and staff and Parent Academy for the Academic Achievement Program. Heritage Park and Phyllis Wheatley partnered in door knocking and distributing information throughout the neighborhood and co-hosted a neighborhood clean-up day on Earth Day. They also assisted in advertising the North High School Hazardous Waste Drop-Off June after the North Minneapolis Tornado.
