Our Story
Green Team was founded two years ago by students Aisha and Anabel, two passionate individuals dedicated to environmental advocacy. After graduating, Aisha established Good Trouble, a platform designed to help clubs like Green Team across Colorado connect and collaborate on sustainability initiatives.
The original logo of Green Team was given to Good Trouble. In 2024, a new logo was designed by Green Team member Clio Bendell, who won a logo contest, bringing a fresh and vibrant identity to the team as they continue their mission to promote environmental awareness.
