Project snapshot
Harlem Clean Up launches the Community Green Zones Initiative, a citywide beautification and sustainability program transforming one high-need block per borough into resilient Green Zones. Interventions include monthly clean-ups, public art, community-designed signage, planter installations, and youth-led education; winter activities pivot to senior centers, food pantries, shelters, and indoor sustainability workshops. A Youth Ambassador Program trains students to lead campaigns, document outcomes, and steward zones, promoting long-term ownership, intergenerational connection, and environmental equity.
