DOEE seeks eligible entities to educate and train District youth and young adults, ages 14-24, participating in the 2024 Green Zone Environmental Program (GZEP), a summer workforce development program.

DOEE is also seeking grantees to conduct meaningful outreach to District residents to recruit participants for the 2025 GZEP program, and to establish a pipeline of participants for future sessions. The amount available is $80,000. DOEE intends to award four grants of up to $20,000 each.
