Transforming Communities through Greening
URI is a not-for-profit university partnership. Learn more and support this work.
Get Involved
URI offers paid Greenspace and GreenSkills internships for graduate students at Yale, as well as for New Haven high school students and ex-offenders.
One of the most valuable contributions is your time. Most of URI's volunteer opportunities are with Greenspace in the summer. We host a few special workdays in the spring and fall.
Your contribution will support job training for teens and formerly incarcerated adults while improving our environment through tree planting and green space revitalization. Proceeds will provide internships, tools, compost, mulch and trees.
Thanks to a partnership with the City of New Haven's Parks, Recreation and Trees Department we are happy to plant street trees for New Haven residents with our GreenSkills crews.
