GCF was the inaugural workforce partner on NYC Cool Roofs, featured by Cities of Service: “Cool Roofs was first implemented in NYC in 2010 through a collaboration of NYC Service and the NYC Department of Buildings. NYC Service partnered with Community Environmental Center (CEC), which recruited volunteers and worked with Green City Force to coat over one million square feet of rooftops. CEC managed the volunteer process and Green City Force used the initiative as a learning and work opportunity for disadvantaged youth who were preparing for careers in the clean energy economy,” (source).
