The Shah sisters are two of the Green Living Co-op’s youngest volunteers, who got involved with the program about three years ago.
“We are both part of the NHS (National Honors Society)/NJHS (National Junior Honors Society) at BASIS Oro Valley, and we collect community service hours as a part of this program. Our mom, who got involved with WMG when we were still little, loved the workshops and recommended them to us. These workshops have since become our greatest source of service hours!
“The WMG Co-ops are a great way to meet lots of new people and gain lots of personal knowledge. Working together with others who care about
the same thing you do and getting in touch with the outdoors really help give your work a sense of purpose and connectedness. It is very comforting to know that there are people who really care about the desert and actually seem to acknowledge how much we all rely on water. We would love to see the washes and rivers full of water again!”
