From the Bronx, to the world! In 2022, we will be embarking on Year 1 of our five-year strategic plan, developed in collaboration with PricewaterhouseCoopers, which will bring Green Bronx Machine to 20,000 schools throughout the country. We are poised, ready, willing, and able to do the work! Our work has always been organic and grassroots, supported by local people who love and appreciate what we do and how we do it: one child at a time, one classroom at a time, one school at a time, one community at a time. Today, we are asking for your support. Be it $1 or $100,000! Every drop of kindness helps fill the cup and gets us closer to making epic happen!
