About Us
and our growing community
NYCEarth is a student lead non-profit organization operating within New York City. Our mission is to bring the largest number of trees possible to vacant tree beds around NYC. We empower teens to become involved in active leadership so that they can implement meaningful community improvements.
​
Already we have overseen the planting of 118 trees across 4 Brooklyn neighborhoods, and we are just getting started. We operate extramurally across 3 Brooklyn high schools and alongside one local non-profit organization; Beautify Brooklyn. NYCEarth is a relatively new organization but it is already making ambitious steps forward.
​​
With our It is our goal to promote critical thinkers and doers by facilitating the skills and resiliency needed to succeed in our increasingly complex future. We believe this is a start.
Our Story
NYCEarth has been committed since day one to improving quality of life for New Yorkers. We began as a small-scale project to increase urban greenspace in Brooklyn. Since then, we have worked to create service and leadership opportunities for high school students looking to improve their community. NYCEarth has maintained its focus on amplifying voices through collective action. As we grow, we promise to maintain our focus on local leadership through our chapters. NYCEarth is a chance for eager thinkers and avid doers to unite and spur change in their world.
​
Starting in Millennium Brooklyn High School and since expanding to work alongside many others, we believe that everyone has the potential to change the world. We've seen it firsthand, and we continue to be amazed by the impact.
