There are many ways to participate and help create a sustainable and vibrant Lucas County. Opportunities include being a community leader, volunteering for various positions, getting involved in educational campaigns, and giving philanthropically. You can also get involved in helping make any of the catalysts project or the 21 priority actions a reality, as well as take steps in your own personal life.

 How Can You Get Involved?

Be a part of the community planning process. Lucas County citizens have a host of opportunities for getting involved with Going Beyond Green. Volunteering for an issue you are passionate about can be rewarding and fun. If you are interested in your local ecosystems, volunteer your time with a local conservation group. If health and wellness is your passion, carve out time to organize a campaign to increase the level of education and outreach about local, healthy food in schools and throughout the community. Find a topic you are excited about and reach out to local non-profits to see how you can help make a change.

Going Beyond Green Working Groups

Volunteer your time and ideas to one of the Going Beyond Green Working Groups to advance sustainability in Lucas County. One of the first implementation steps for Going Beyond Green is the development of a working group for each of the 7 focus areas. These groups will provide an opportunity for people with similar interests to get together and discuss, lobby, promote, and advance sustainability initiatives throughout Lucas County’s natural, social, and economic systems.
