About us

GrowNYC is a hands-on non-profit with a mission to empower all New Yorkers with equitable access to fresh, locally grown food and neighborhood green spaces, reduce waste, and care for the environment. GrowNYC was originally created in 1970 as the Council on the Environment of New York City (CENYC). Born out of the spirit of the first Earth Day, CENYC was initially a policy-based organization, writing comprehensive reports about quality of life issues like air quality, traffic, and noise. Today, we serve over 3 million New Yorkers annually through a robust network of sustainability programs and resources. Our programs focus our efforts on four key areas: Food Access & Agriculture, Green Spaces, Zero Waste and Education. Since 1970, GrowNYC has been rolling up its sleeves alongside NYC residents to: - Provide access to healthy, fresh, local food for all New Yorkers -Grow and maintain vibrant green spaces and community gardens. -Help New Yorkers recycle more and reduce waste. -Create the next generation of environmental leaders through hands-on education programs.

    At GrowNYC, we believe in the power of partnerships to create meaningful change. Recently, we teamed up with Pernod Ricard for an incredible day dedicated to social impact. Their passionate employees dove into discussions on rainwater systems, urban design, and the art of seed saving and packaging. Together, we rolled up our sleeves for hands-on projects that directly benefit NYC's community gardens — sorting seeds, painting rain collection barrels, and building Free Little Libraries.  It was a day filled with learning, teamwork, and making a real difference in our city. Looking to get involved? Join us in making a positive impact! Visit https://lnkd.in/eRjBPQ9T to learn more about corporate volunteering opportunities with GrowNYC. Together, we can grow a greener, more sustainable NYC.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Senator Chuck Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand who secured funding for this important food infrastructure project. Their support is transformational in our efforts to bring fresh, local produce to New York City, bolstering regional farmers and getting their products into underserved communities.
