Green for All Becoming a Green Leader

While researching some non-profit organizations in our area, I came across Green for All which has a unique position within the communities they reach.

Green for All’s mission is to work within the special provisions in the clean energy bill.  The bill promises to reduce pollution, lesson our dependence on foreign oil, and create millions of new jobs in the green sector.  Although this bill is still awaiting approval from the Senate, the program is continuing to move forward and taking proactive measures to accomplish to very important goals of the U.S. at this time; decrease poverty and get more Americans on board with the green movement.

The main work that Green for All has been founded to do is get people from low income areas into jobs that are focused on sustainability and using renewable energy sources.  Green for All has taken a unique approach because they are helping two causes at once.  First of all, they are helping those who are struggling to provide for their families find job placement and secondly they are placing them in jobs that are benefiting our earth.  What an amazing task they have set out to do!  The other thing that I find interesting about this organization is that for college students coming out of college that are passionate about these issues, this company would seem to be a great fit.



Green for All's work has come to Washington state most recently and hopefully they are able to expand to Oregon because that would be just what we need to take us to even higher heights in our green movement.  Great job Green for All!
