Green City Force “trains[s] young leaders to power a green and inclusive economy, through service.

Our model corps in New York City enlists and trains young people from low income housing communities for a new and more equitable economy. We equip them with the tools to change the trajectory of their lives and access good jobs. Corps Members develop a passion for sustainability and service through driving large-scale environmental and health initiatives in public housing and other frontline communities. We design service as a path to greater well being and means to enlist young people to become contributors and leaders in the movement to build a greener, fairer and more just world. Graduates go on to jobs or college, directly or through alumni initiatives that build towards sectoral jobs and apprenticeships, via social enterprise contracts or advanced training developed with employers. Our network of alumni, partners and supporters constitutes a growing ecosystem anchored in our corps.

OUR VISION:

One day we will live in green cities where everyone can thrive.

We are working toward a “green city” rooted in social, economic, and environmental justice. We view young adults from frontline communities as the essential force for driving the emergence of sustainable and resilient cities—by transforming their own lives, leading community transition, and promoting the values of a new regenerative and inclusive economy.

We envision young people building the green cities we want to see through engagement in service years that also lead them on a path to satisfying and rewarding careers. We view service, purposefully designed, as a systemic solution to create a just, collaborative and connected society. Our ambition: that service to help build green and equitable cities becomes an avenue to opportunity for a generation of young residents of public and low-income housing.

OUR PILLARS:

Service. Training. Sustainability. Justice.

OUR VALUES:

People. Passion. Perseverance.

WE’RE BUILDING:

Love. Power. Equity.“

Tribal communities, working-class communities and communities of color are most impacted.

But we have the power to make a difference. We can pressure our leaders to listen to those most impacted by the climate crisis and to make public lands part of the climate solution instead of the problem. This action toolkit will get you started. Let's dig in and get to work!”

Project Drawdown: “The World’s Leading Resource for Climate Solutions

Our mission is to help the world reach “drawdown”—the point in the future when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline, thereby stopping catastrophic climate change—as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible.

Climate change is the defining challenge of our generation. It affects virtually every aspect of life, from what we eat and how we move to where political unrest finds its most volatile flashpoints.

For many, it’s nothing but gloom and doom.

For Project Drawdown, it’s an opportunity.

We’ve identified and are now advancing the application of 93 currently available, economically feasible technologies and practices that together can turn the tide on climate change. Many have positive co-benefits for human health, biodiversity, and more.

Together, we CAN get this done. Won’t you join us?”
