Where Your Support Goes

Green Visions Workforce Development & Training Program

For 13 years, Green Visions has empowered youth ages 17-24 in Rochester’s Northwest neighborhood by providing:

  • Job skills training to prepare participants for middle-skill careers

  • A daily stipend to support economically challenged youth

  • An inclusive environment welcoming both men and women, as well as developmentally disabled participants

  • A transformational impact on the JOSANA neighborhood, turning vacant lots into vibrant flower gardens each summer

New for 2025! We are piloting a Winter Program at our renovated training center at 188 Whitney St. to expand training opportunities, offer an in-depth Landscape Technician course, and feature presentations from industry experts. This expansion nearly doubles our youth participation to 25 students.

Greentopia plays a key role in the planning and community outreach for the development of High Falls State Park. Through sponsorship, we:

  • Ensure community engagement in the park’s design and development

  • Partner with the Community Design Center to explore the park’s economic and environmental impact
