Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Youth Development Programs
Mission: Green opportunities ("go") connects youth and adults from low-wealth neighborhoods to sustained employment opportunities that support and improve community and environmental health.
Programs: - training & placement - the core goal of our training is to provide students with the hands-on skills and portable technical credentials necessary to find and retain employment. But these aren't just any jobs: we focus on well-paying, sustained employment in jobs that increase community and environmental health. Our targeted curriculum prepares residents for growing industries like green construction, urban agriculture, sustainable landscaping, culinary arts, and building science & weatherization.
- social enterprises - "go" strives to achieve the triple bottom line: economic viability, social equity, and the environment. Nowhere is this commitment more profound than within our social enterprises. "go's" enterprises create jobs and provide hands-on training for residents while giving them critical resume-building work history.
we encourage you to visit our website and review our full 2016 program update.
