Green City Force is a non-profit organization based in Brooklyn, NY, dedicated to building a sustainable and equitable future. Through their flagship AmeriCorps service and training program, called the Service Corps, young adults from frontline communities gain the skills, certifications, and experience needed to launch sustainable career pathways while serving NYC public housing communities. Green City Force's mission is to create a green city rooted in social, economic, and environmental justice, viewing young adults as the essential force for driving the emergence of sustainable and resilient cities.

With a focus on social enterprise and serving residents of the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), Green City Force's initiatives include the GCF Illuminators program, which helps low-income New Yorkers reduce their energy bills through large-scale energy audit and retrofit projects. They also engage NYCHA residents through initiatives like Farms at NYCHA and Love Where You Live, promoting community leadership, sustainability, and health. Green City Force empowers individuals to discover their potential and make a positive impact on their communities, fostering a regenerative and inclusive economy.
