We hope that anyone who expresses interest in leading the committee joins us on the committee, regardless of the decision re: Chair – or collaborates with us on projects benefitting Clintonville and Central Ohio. It’s all about working together. Co-Chairs may lead the committee if interested.

It’s also time for the 2026 official Committee Roster, typically due in February of each year! If you live in Clintonville, or want to work on projects within our community contact clintonvillegreenteam@gmail.com. We also work in nearby neighborhoods, around the Columbus area, and sometimes even far from home…

Officially rostered committee members commit to one year: attending 4 quarterly meetings, contributing time and skills to projects, and providing their valuable insight on committee decisions. The bigger and better our Team, the better we can serve our community. That means: We need you!

    What We Do

    Clintonville Green Team is a volunteer-driven committee

    Community Events and Participation

    We organize and show up to community or volunteering events, work days, local markets, festivals, civic forums, and get-togethers with resources about conservation

    Special Projects

    Sustainability is a broad subject area covering the environment, energy, public health, civic engagement, and much more. As a committee, we are involved in a variety of projects, throughout Clintonville and nearby areas

    Advocating For Sustainability

    We invite the community to make choices that will create a better future for our neighborhood and participate on the boards, working groups, or advisory councils of local organizations

    Outreach

    We talk to neighbors, groups, students, businesses… pretty much anyone… about what it means to be sustainable and how they can get involved

    Gardens and Trees

    We create, maintain, and support gardens in backyards and public spaces that support local biodiversity and beautify our world. We plant trees to enhance our canopy and improve air/water quality

    Cleaning Up Litter

    We keep the neighborhood clean by removing trash from our public spaces. Almost anyone can help with this, anytime! Keep it clean, keep it green

    Our History

    Columbus GreenSpot is a program of the City of Columbus Department of Public Utilities that promotes sustainability programs and practices throughout the city. Households, businesses, and neighborhoods can all work to become Green Spots. Clintonville became a GreenSpot neighborhood in 2019 thanks to a committee formed by the Clintonville Area Commission. Clintonville Green Team is a volunteer-driven community organization furthering sustainability in our neighborhood.
