The aim of this collaborative is to support the propagation of green-collar jobs, access to them for those who need them most (including the poor, the formerly incarcerated, and displaced workers), and the expansion of environmental service opportunities for all. Partners: Apollo Alliance, the Center for American Progress, The Center for State Innovation, the Center on Wisconsin Strategy, the Ella Baker Center For Human Rights, Energy Action Coalition, Green for All, Innovations in Civic Participation, and The Corps Network.
