This Month, Help us Level the Playing Field by Empowering Urban Native Youth!


The Urban Native Youth School Supplies Initiative

Let's work together to empower our Native youth by pooling our resources to create real prospects for Aboriginal education and help put an end to the education gap by giving our young neighbours the opportunity to voice their dreams.

For the month of August, Green Earth Organics would love your help with our school supplies drive. All types of material are suitable for donation - spiral notebooks, pencils, rulers, coloured pencils, erasers and even backpacks. Simply leave them in your empty bin so we can pick them up and donate them for you.

We will be donating the supplies to UNYA - Urban NAtive Youth Association. They are Metro Vancouver's only Native youth program-providing organization. It works to empower youth through 21 programs in the areas of education & training, personal support, residential programs and sports & recreation. UNYA also include community develpment, research, advocacy and cultural learning opportunities.

Book Drive Results Overwhelming!

A BIG thanks goes out to all of the Green Earth Organics members who donated books for our book drive. We donated close to 500 books to The Reading Tree. Those books will be distributed through school and community programs to deserving families and children.
