  • Description:   On one of those San Francisco mornings when a dense fog blankets Telegraph Hill while brilliant sun pours down in the Mission, he set out to visit the Greenagers. Run by the city Recreation and Park Department, the program gives teens hands-on experiences with nature. Leaders and volunteers take the youths on educational field trips to parks and natural areas. The Greenagers go out several Saturdays a month from July to January, learning about the natural world, working with community organizations to protect local parks, and picking up valuable life skills. Here, Kamiya talks about youth volunteers that explores their natural areas.
