Groundwork Hudson Valley is a nonprofit environmental services organization based in Yonkers, New York. It pursues sustainable change in urban neighborhoods by forming community-based partnerships that foreground equity, youth leadership, and opportunities in the green economy. The group focuses on initiatives such as education, youth employment, and urban green infrastructure to advance environmental outcomes in cities. It operates as a small to mid-sized organization with a mission to foster lasting improvements through collaboration. Recent collaborations illustrate its model in action: a 2024 partnership with Teatown Hudson River to host EagleFest 2024 in Yonkers, and a 2023 initiative with Yonkers Public Schools to integrate urban forestry into STEM education and broaden the Green Team's paid youth positions. These partnerships demonstrate the organization's emphasis on education and community involvement to promote environmental stewardship and economic opportunity in urban settings.
