GWRI is a non-profit, community-based organization that helps make Rhode Island’s urban communities healthier and more resilient places to live by improving the physical environment and creating economic opportunities for local residents. Through job training, employment, and social venture programs, GWRI offers 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, GWRI works to physically improve our shared urban environment, especially in predominantly lower-income communities and communities of color in Providence, Pawtucket and Central Falls.
