What We Do
At Groundwork Indy, we engage youth and community members in hands-on environmental projects that improve the physical and social landscape of Indianapolis. Through initiatives like the Green Team and GroundCorp, we offer job training, leadership development, and environmental education, with a focus on sustainability and community revitalization. Our programs address local challenges such as vacant land, brownfields, and underutilized parks by involving youth in projects that enhance green spaces, restore ecosystems, and promote active living. By connecting young people to their environment, we help them build skills and a sense of ownership over their community’s future.
In addition to our environmental work, Groundwork Indy is deeply committed to community health and well-being. We collaborate with local partners to improve access to healthy food, support safe routes for walking and biking, and create spaces that promote physical activity. Our holistic approach ensures that we not only beautify the neighborhoods we serve but also improve the quality of life for residents. Through these efforts, we empower youth to become leaders in sustainability and community transformation.
