Sponsor the next EcoPower cohort

Invest in NYC’s next climate leaders.

EcoPower pays high school and college students to build environmental justice tools with—and for—the neighborhoods they serve. Partners help make next year’s internship, field learning, public work, and a growing alumni network possible.

Why this work

Central Brooklyn is on the front line—and local students are ready to lead.

Extreme heat, flooding, soil and air quality, energy costs and economic pressure overlap across The Flats. EcoPower gives paid student Operators the time, training, tools and trust to turn local knowledge into useful public work—and keeps that momentum going across cohorts.
