Groundwork Rhode Island (GWRI) is a community-based organization helping build healthier, more resilient, and more equitable urban communities in Rhode Island. We do this by improving the physical environment and creating economic opportunities for local residents through job training, employment, and social ventures. We achieve our mission by leading a variety of urban stewardship programs and projects that train and employ lower-income Rhode Islanders including those with past conviction records and youth. At the same time, we work to physically improve our shared urban environment, particularly in lower-income communities of color.
