Who We Are

Groundwork Rhode Island is a non-profit, community-based environmental organization dedicated to creating healthier and more resilient urban communities in Rhode Island. We achieve this through our many urban stewardship programs, which create economic opportunity for Rhode Island’s urban residents, and at the same time physically improve our shared urban environment, especially in economically-distressed areas. We believe our mission can only be achieved by meeting the community’s dual needs of environmental sustainability and economic prosperity in partnership with residents, businesses, and other partners.
