About this organization
Mission
Green City Force trains 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 wellbeing and means to enlist young people to become contributors and leaders in the movement to build a greener, fairer and more just world.
About
Green City Force (GCF) connects the dots between youth employment and the need to shift to sustainability and equity in our cities, through service rooted in public housing communities in New York City. Through its Service Corps, GCF engages 18 - 24 year old public housing residents with high school diplomas or equivalencies as AmeriCorps members on large-scale environmental initiatives in public housing.
