Our Mission

Who We Are

Green For All is a national organization dedicated to improving the lives of all Americans through a clean energy economy.   The organization works in collaboration with the business, government, labor, and grassroots communities to create and implement programs that increase quality jobs and opportunities in green industry – all while holding the most vulnerable people at the center of its agenda.

What We Believe

Green For All believes a shift to a clean, green economy can improve the health and well-being of low-income people, who suffer disproportionately from cancer, asthma and other respiratory ailments in our current pollution-based economy.  Such a shift can also create and expand entrepreneurial, wealth-building opportunities for American workers who need new avenues of economic advance.

In other words: we believe that the national effort to curb global warming and oil dependence can simultaneously create well-paid green-collar jobs, safer streets and healthier communities.

What We Do

To realize our vision of an inclusive green economy, Green For All will:

  • Link activists and advocates, organizations, policy makers, practitioners, and business, labor, and community leaders together in dialogue to advance the vision of a green economy that benefits all Americans;
  • Lift public awareness on the potential of green-collar jobs to transform the economy, curb global warming, and build pathways out of poverty;
  • Leverage best green practices and policy into model programs and legislation that can be adopted at the national, state or local level;
  • Provide technical assistance to mayors and community groups to implement local green-collar job initiatives; and
  • Build an on-line community of practice to convene thought-leaders and share leading program models, technical documents and templates.
