Proyecto Verde

Through Proyecto Verde our intergenerational intercambios (exchanges) guides us as we work to organize workshops and platicas (dialogues) led by residents to build alternative solutions for long-term change.


Our annual celebration of the Tianguis del Chamizal creates space to celebrate the art and culture that comes from our community, resident-led workshops of; cooking classes where we share healthy ancestral recipes, planting workshops with tips and struggles that many face while planting in Barrio Chamizal, music workshops and theater skits to help tell our story and remind us we have the capacity to create the community we deserve.


Both initiatives work hand in hand to nurture community-based efforts that promote climate resilience and further our understanding that we are nature, recognizing that alternatives to the climate crisis are born from Barrio Resiliency in our urban border community.
