Bronx, NY On Saturday, August 9th IREM NYC members got their hands dirty at Forest Houses Eco-Hub, volunteering with Green City Force (GCF).

In just one morning, IREM NYC members harvested nearly 400 pounds of vegetables, weeded, tilled, and prepped garden beds for planting. It was hard work — but also incredibly rewarding.

Green City Force’s AmeriCorps program prepares young adults aged 18-24 who reside in New York City Housing (NYCHA) or low-income housing in NYC and have a high school diploma or equivalency for careers through green service. Being part of the Service Corps. is a full-time commitment encompassing service, training, and skills-building experiences related to healthier buildings and communities. GCF is committed to the ongoing success of their alumni.

GCF’s programs are rooted in the belief that these young NYC residents are uniquely positioned through leadership, training, and service to drive change in public housing communities while building skills, earning certifications, and gaining experience to help achieve economic prosperity. Partnerships with residents, local and city-wide organizations and agencies, funders, and employers are essential for the holistic approach required to realize the change we envision.

IREM NYC chapter president Jessica Tussing, CPM presented Green City Force with a donation to help support the wonderful work they do. We’re proud to have our DEI and ESG committees support Green City Force.

Special thanks to our IREM NYC industry partner members who joined us: Carlos Honorio, Jr. of Honorio Designs + Architecture and Joshua Chaffey of Mackoul Risk Solutions.
