Please support this two part outreach event with Green City Force and partners to increase participation at the Queensbridge F stop Food Scrap Drop-off site! Day one includes a full day of learning, practicing and sharing in outreach strategies, flyer design do's and don'ts, and a screening of the documentary Symphony of the Soil. Day two we will door to door canvas the entire 6 blocks and 96 buildings of Queensbridge, giving information on how residents can get green by participating in the weekly Food Scrap Drop-off site brought to the community by local stewards the New York City Compost Project Hosted by Big Reuse.

This project will provide a quality training event followed by a Green City Force action outreach campaign to enhance the understanding and importance of recycling and composting programs to residents at Queensbridge Houses. Green City Force works in close partnership with the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) to engage 18 - 24 year old public housing residents with high school diplomas in a 6 or 10-month term of AmeriCorps national service. To date, GCF has engaged over 400 young adults. GCF’s programs are rooted in the belief that young NYCHA residents are uniquely positioned through leadership, training, and service, to drive change in communities while building skills and experiences to help launch careers and achieve economic prosperity.
