With your support, Groundwork Denver engages youth and community members who are most impacted by environmental injustices. We collaborate to identify local needs, develop sustainable solutions, and create lasting impact. Along the way, we build bridges of understanding, promote social cohesion, and build power.
Creating a Sustainable Future: Sustainability is at the heart of our mission. Your contribution helps create opportunities for residents to engage in environmental stewardship, restoration, and resilience. From community gardens and urban forestry projects to green infrastructure and energy efficiency programs, we work tirelessly to create a healthy, equitable, and sustainable Denver.

To build bridges between residents, businesses and government to accomplish positive environmental change.
To support the growth and development of environmental and community leaders from the neighborhoods where we work through youth employment, internships and community-based jobs.
To promote the inclusion of the diversity of people in our communities in decision-making and in action.
To ensure equal access to a clean and healthy environment for everyone, regardless of where they live, their economic status or their race or ethnicity.
