The Green Team
"The Green Team is a four to six week summer job program sponsored by the City of Monroe."
Mayor Jamie Mayo brought the idea to Monroe after attending an Environmental Protection Agency Advisory Board meeting in Washington, D.C. during the spring of 2009. At the request of the Mayor, the Monroe City Council approves the annual allocation of funds for this project.
The Green Team will consist of 20 to 25 young men and women who focus on green jobs such as litter prevention, beautification, recycling, graffiti abatement, and cigarette litter prevention. The Green Team will also be involved in other projects that consist of free education workshops, tree planting, flower planting, landscape maintenance, and E-recycling.

Monroe Proud Anti-Litter Rally
In order to promote a strong anti-litter and community-pride message, various city of Monroe officials and city mascot Ricky RedBird can come to your school for an anti-litter rally. The primary focus of these events is to promote school pride, self-esteem, and community pride. We encourage all youth to be Monroe Proud by taking a pledge to help clean up their school and their neighborhood.
