Verde: Environmental Outreach and Advocacy for Low-Income Communities
Verde serves communities by building environmental wealth through Social Enterprise, Outreach and Advocacy.
Verde engages community members, peer organizations and policymakers about the connection between protecting the environment and building community, advocating and organizing with low-income people and people of color to drive environmental resources into their neighborhoods in response to existing needs.
Our social enterprise and outreach-advocacy capacities have come together: Advocacy is driving new environmental investments into low-income neighborhoods; outreach is involving residents in the design of these investments; and social enterprises are turning into resource intermediaries, ensuring that new environmental investments put dollars in the pockets of low-income people and create broad, neighborhood-based economic opportunities.
Verde actively seeks partnerships for our enterprises and our outreach activities.
