Over the years, we’ve learned that when people are actively involved in the community, neighborhoods see results. To this end, The Greening of Detroit has developed partnerships with community associations, schools, businesses and corporations throughout the metropolitan area. These partnerships have proven to be our greatest strength, allowing us to reach the many sectors that make Detroit a unique community.
Community Associations & Neighborhood Organizations
Hundreds of block clubs, neighborhood organizations, businesses and not-for-profit agencies in Detroit, Highland Park and Hamtramck have mobilized to help the cause. Your group can help organize volunteers for a community planting or provide on-going maintenance for green projects of every kind.
Schools
Each year, our work with Detroit area schools has provided 18,000 youth with the opportunity to learn how to care for their environment - more than 100 schools have participated in The Greening’s urban forestry education programs, and 263 schools have planted trees.
Corporations & Small Businesses
Business can support The Greening's work to revitalize Detroit by contributing on many levels. From volunteer support to in-kind gifts, event sponsorship, and major grants, our corporate donors are key partners in creating a cleaner and greener environment.
