Local Organizations

The Austin Yellow Bike Project is a volunteer-powered initiative to put bicycles on the streets of Austin and Central Texas by operating community bike shops, teaching bike mechanics and maintenance, and acting as a local bike advocacy group.

At YBP, we don’t fix your bike for you—we show you how to fix it yourself. Our Webberville Shop has twelve fully equipped work-stands and a large selection of used parts, frames, and bikes in various stages of repair.

Food:Land:Opportunity is a multi-year initiative by Kinship Foundation and The Chicago Community Trust to create a resilient local food economy that protects and conserves land and other natural resources while promoting market innovation and building assets in Chicago-region communities.

While working mostly by invitation, the initiative has reserved funds to respond in real time to new opportunities that align with or support its strategies.

The initiative is focused on the supply side of producing food using sustainable practices. Defining characteristics include:

Mile High Youth Corps engages young people through programs that integrate paid work experience on eco-friendly service projects with leadership development, career exploration, and education.

Our main programs:

LAND CONSERVATION

The Land Conservation Program provides opportunities for young adults ages 18-24 to participate in crew-based environmental rehabilitation and habitat restoration projects, including trail building and maintenance, fire and flood mitigation, and habitat restoration.

ENERGY & WATER CONSERVATION

Green Spaces is a sustainable coworking community of like-minded individuals and businesses in the heart of Denver's RiNo Arts District. We’re the nation's first eco-coworking space that's zero waste with a 100 percent solar-powered building and plants throughout to bring nature inside.

Green Spaces strives to bring businesses that are addressing our environmental and social impact on the planet together so that we can thrive by connecting and gaining more exposure in the rapidly growing, socially-conscious marketplace.

SDUSC was created to address systemic inequity after it became increasingly clear that Southeast San Diego lacked representation in important discussions of sustainability as well as opportunities to enter the green job economy.

Today, we exist to bring together communities of concern, stakeholders and like-minded organizations through grassroots organizing to inform processes & policy, to improve the quality of life and to increase opportunities for residents of Southeast San Diego and other resilient communities.

EarthShare of Texas is a 501(c)3 non-profit committed to making environmental support as easy as possible by giving workers the ability to donate through payroll contribution campaigns.

No matter what size your workforce, we can assist you in developing a tailored program that offers dynamic opportunities to better connect your employees with corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability goals.

The Park People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works to preserve, enhance, and advocate for Denver’s parks, recreation resources, open space, and urban forest.

We've raised millions of dollars to restore historical park buildings and fountains. We’ve helped to build new playgrounds and recreation facilities. Our projects can be found throughout the city.

And we offer four exciting programs that invite Denverites to support quality of life in our city by planting trees.
