Community Groups - We’ll work hand-in-hand with 40+ community groups across all 5 boroughs to turbocharge their cleanups with cash grants, tools, supplies, and access to our new online volunteer platform that can help drive volunteer participation. Register your cleanup here.

Corporate - We’re partnering with over a dozen businesses and non-profits across the city whose employees are stepping up to help clean up and have a positive impact on our city during Earth Month. If your company may be interested in cleanups in the future, let us know here.

Schools - We’ll be leading and supporting 50+ cleanups throughout NYC public schools. If you are an educator who is interested in getting involved in the future, explore our resources here.

 

We are collaborating with the International Center of Photography (ICP) on three special events during Earth Month.

Our community cleanup on the Lower East Side begins at ICP at 10 AM. Following the cleanup, join ICP faculty member Raine Roberts on the sidewalk in front of ICP, for a found object photo-based activity and learn more about using found objects to engage with photographic processes. Register here.

City as Canvas - Wednesday 4/17 6:30 - 8:00
