Our Mission
Bridging communities and resources to empower youth to live healthy and sustainable lives.
Our Story
The Green Scheme was founded in 2011 by Washington, DC natives, Ronnie Webb and Joelle Robinson when they realized the lack of environmental awareness that existed in many communities. Fueled by a desire to impact the way people think about their health and their environment, Ronnie and Joelle created Green Scheme to organize, educate, and empower communities.
