What is Change SF?

A community engagement series with the intention to excite civic engagement and community development around green projects through collaboration and culture.

Outcomes: Collaborative projects that can be worked on every month: possibly technology or nature related: community/school gardens, tree plantings, green roofs, low income solar, building weatherization - what ever the community decides. We strive to contribute to green jobs development and the enhancement of San Francisco’s position as an urban world leader in sustainable biology, technology and arts based culture.

Community Development: nature+people+technology
