| Green Volunteering | |
On August 6, 2012 South Shore Clean Cities partnered with Gary's Green Job Training Program to inform trainees about the many alternative fuels available.
This program is funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and has been in place for Gary residents since 2000. For 12 weeks, 25 people receive training in a host of green job skills and leave with licenses and certifications.

Mary Mulligan is the Brownfields Coordinator for the City of Gary. The City partners with public, private, and nonprofit environmental groups for the program.
"We want them to have a broad opportunity to help them find gainful employment," Mulligan stated. She is hoping to secure stipends and paid, on-the-job internships for trainees.
"Of course, this program is a benefit to the City of Gary, but the benefit is not limited to Gary," she said. "These skills are with them to take wherever they go."
