Description
California Greenworks Incorporated is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization formed to promote environmental protection, community revitalization and economic development throughout southern California urban communities. We are a environmental justice group who provides on the ground improvements in urban communities. Our primary focus is on raising an environmental awareness to urban underserved communities of color here in South Los Angeles through a variety of environmental educational awareness programs and projects activities.
We work with local officials, public agencies, school districts, community groups, businesses, and other non-profits to educate urban communities on the importance of environmental protection and conservation, advocate open space, promote sustainable designs, and reduce urban blight. Our work further seeks to focuses on social entrepreneurial efforts to spur economic development within urban centers by advocating for green jobs opportunities.
