Our Community Engagement and Advocacy efforts have both an external and internal focus.
From street fairs, back-to-school events, or STEM Family Education Celebrations, our EJ team is ready to support our friends and neighbors.
We also work with our colleagues in operations and strategic planning to ensure that the concerns and challenges of our underserved communities are considered in managing current and future projects.
Community Engagement and Advocacy
Employees from across NYPA lend their expertise and sweat equity to our neighbors by participating in Environmental Justice Volunteer Corps days of service scheduled throughout the year. Previous projects include food distribution at local food pantries, low-income home renovations, planting and harvesting community gardens, and waterway cleanup projects.
