Groundwork Southcoast
Groundwork Southcoast (GWSC) is focused on Leadership, Stewardship, and Community Engagement by investing in environmental leadership of youth in the south coast of Massachusetts. Through employing youth to work and lead in their community we strive to build racial and social equity in our environmental justice neighborhoods. One of our target neighborhoods in which we have been working for the past four years is also the GGCP target area for New Bedford and we are excited to be a part of increasing our community tree canopy.
