Now in its fourth decade, Citizen Action has mentored, trained and launched nearly 150 grassroots start-ups in New York City and beyond.
Groups under Citizen Action all work in some way to protect the environment. Our participants have ranged from community gardens and land trusts, to environmental educators and promoters of nature-based arts and activities.
