Our mission is to improve New York City’s quality of life through environmental programs that transform communities block by block and empower all New Yorkers to secure a clean and healthy environment for future generations.
GrowNYC works with corporate groups of any size on outdoor volunteer projects all across New York City. Building urban farms, planting in community gardens, and starting new school gardens are all projects that GrowNYC's corporate volunteers have tackled.
Whether it be planting flowers or tackling a construction project like building wooden garden beds, our staff will work with your company on designing a volunteer day that is engaging, educational, and fun! Last year, GrowNYC's corporate volunteer program:
- Worked with more than 3,000 volunteers, including groups of up to 300 volunteers
- Putting in 12,000 hours at 25 different gardens across the city.
- Helping us build 7 new community gardens = 46,000 square feet of new green space
