Green City Force is a non-profit organization based in New York City that aims to build a sustainable and just future by empowering young adults from frontline communities. Through their flagship AmeriCorps service and training program, called the Service Corps, participants gain the skills, certifications, and experience needed to launch sustainable career pathways while serving public housing communities. Green City Force also operates social enterprise programs, such as the GCF Illuminators, which help low-income New Yorkers reduce their energy bills through energy audit and retrofit projects.
With a mission rooted in social, economic, and environmental justice, Green City Force views young adults as the essential force for driving the emergence of sustainable and resilient cities. They work towards creating a green city by transforming lives, leading community transition, and promoting the values of a new regenerative and inclusive economy. Through initiatives like Farms at NYCHA and Love Where You Live, Green City Force serves residents and communities by fostering local leadership and community buy-in for health and sustainability.
