We Grow NYC Inc.

At We Grow NYC Inc., our mission is to spread and support sustainable, community-building urban growing practices that empower New York City residents with knowledge, access, and opportunity. We advance sustainable agriculture in urban environments by helping city dwellers build meaningful connections to every stage of the growing process, from education and cultivation to long-term economic participation.

Central to our work is a commitment to inclusivity, accessibility, and equity. We Grow NYC develops community-based learning hubs where young people, families, and aspiring growers come together to learn, collaborate, and grow. Through high-quality, hands-on workshops, we address the unique challenges of urban cultivation while meeting people where they are; within neighborhoods, community spaces, and legal dispensaries across NYC.

As part of our long-term vision, We Grow NYC is building a workforce development pathway that prepares participants for careers within the legal cannabis and urban agriculture sectors. By partnering with community leaders, educators, industry professionals, and licensed dispensaries, we provide practical education, mentorship, and skill-building opportunities that lead to economic mobility and self-sufficiency.

Our work is grounded in the belief that access to education should never be a barrier. We are committed to offering free or affordable programming whenever possible, ensuring that all members of our community, regardless of income, space, or prior experience, have the tools and support needed to grow, thrive, and contribute to a more resilient and sustainable city.
