The mission of Aliquippa Green Inc. is deeply rooted in the empowerment of the Aliquippa community. Through our dedicated efforts, we aim to cultivate a generation of productive citizens by offering comprehensive educational programming tailored to the needs of youth and young adults. Our focus areas include urban agriculture, technology, and home restoration, each designed to equip individuals with practical skills and knowledge essential for success in today's ever-changing world.
The focus on agriculture is to help create a healthier future for the community by educating, empowering, and inspiring the community to grow and share produce. This also exposes youth to career opportunities in agriculture.
Aliquippa Green, Inc. was established in 2019 to help citizens invest and build the concept of sustainable change in their own communities. Our programs are built on the philosophy of inter-generational change. Toward this mission our agency has sought to bring several areas of our social, educational and economic programming under one roof. For three years Aliquippa Green successfully delivered computer science-based programming to middle and high school students in the city of Aliquippa.
We are currently serving as the Diaper Bank for Beaver County. We are looking forward to connecting to more community partners in this work.
