Groundwork Center for Resilient Communities is not seeking new Corps Members for the 2025-2026 term.

Groundwork’s mission is to protect the environment, strengthen the economy, and build community. Our staff works in three program areas: Climate & Environment; Transportation & Community Design; and Food & Farming. Northwest lower Michigan’s topography is noted for its forests, rivers, and magnificent Lake Michigan shoreline. Opportunities for biking, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, boating, and beaches are abundant. This rural region shares a diverse agricultural heritage, a legacy of seasonal, low-paying jobs, and a large population of Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE) families. These districts – along with students and parents – have embraced farm-to-school as a way to provide healthy food to kids while investing in the local economy.
