Every vacant lot, polluted waterway and abandoned park in cities and towns across the country is evidence that our communities are in desperate need of renewal.

Dedicated to changing places and changing lives, Groundwork USA is a national organization with local roots, engaging local businesses, residents and government officials to revitalize neighborhoods and transform community liabilities into community assets.
