About GCF

Green City Force’s AmeriCorps program prepares young adults aged 18-24 who reside in the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) or low-income housing in NYC and have a high school diploma or equivalency for careers through green service. Being part of the Service Corps is a full-time commitment encompassing service, training, and skills-building experiences related to healthier buildings and communities. GCF is committed to the ongoing success of our alumni.

GCF’s programs are rooted in the belief that these young NYC residents are uniquely positioned through leadership, training, and service to drive change in public housing communities while building skills, earning certifications, and gaining experience to help achieve economic prosperity. Partnerships with residents, local and city-wide organizations and agencies, funders, and employers are essential for the holistic approach required to realize the change we envision.
