This week at Green Columbus I assisted Green Columbus’ Executive Director with grant applications and continued planning for the upcoming fall tree giveaways.

On Monday, my boss was out sick so I spent most of the day working on social media and prepping for the LSAT. Balancing studying for the LSAT while working has taken more effort than I had thought it would this summer but I’m grateful to be taking the LSAT soon and being able to work at Green Columbus.

During the rest of the week, I continued working on grant applications for Green Columbus’ community tree plantings. Green Columbus has planted 500 trees at schools around Columbus and I have gotten to visit several schools and check on the trees. Seeing the trees at the schools was very impactful for me and I’m excited that I get to help apply for funding that way Green Columbus can keep planting trees at schools! Applying for grants does make me a little nervous because of the possibility that I could be responsible for Green Columbus not receiving a grant, but I think this feeling should go away as I continue to submit more grants.

Next week Green Columbus has an exciting meeting with a community partner, so I’m excited to attend that meeting and share about it on the blog.

Until next time,

Emma
