Groundwork USA is a non-profit organization that works on behalf of a national network of Groundwork trusts. Groundwork trusts are non-profits established across the United States in places that have experienced decades of decline in their physical and social environments. Our mission is to foster and awaken the potential of these neighborhoods by working with communities to improve their physical environment. In doing so, we help neighborhoods gain a renewed sense of place, opportunity, and pride. The objectives of the Groundwork USA network are to: * Increase the capacity of communities to improve and care for their local environment. * Reclaim vacant and derelict lands for conservation, recreation and economic development. * Clean up and care for neglected areas to signal community pride and rejuvenation. * Return brownfields to economically productive use by restoring blighted landscapes * Integrate environmental education and job training into projects it undertakes. * Engage business, government, non-profits and communities to work together for sustainable environmental care and enhancement. * Raise the profile of urban environmental improvements as part of a comprehensive approach to smart growth strategies and rejuvenation of inner city communities. * Insure projects look as good or better in five years as they do on the day of completion.
