Green City Force is an AmeriCorps program mobilizing young adults from low-income communities in New York City to engage in environmental service. The organization blends workforce development with youth leadership training to prepare participants for sustainable careers while contributing to a greener city. Based in Brooklyn and founded in 2009, Green City Force has engaged more than 1,000 participants through its Service Corps and has built six urban farms in NYC public housing developments. It educates tens of thousands of New Yorkers on issues related to food, waste, water and energy. A recent development includes a partnership with New York Disaster Interfaith Services to support a climate-ready audit program for houses of worship.
