Greencorps Chicago is a job-training and community-greening program launched by the Chicago Department of Environment in 1994. Each spring, Greencorps hires up to 30 Chicagoans for a 10-month training program in landscaping and horticulture.

Participants get hands-on experience through more than 200 greening projects throughout Chicago each year. Greencorps helps place graduates in full-time jobs. To date, 225 participants have completed the program.

WRD Environmental is part of the Greencorps management team. We oversee budgeting, personnel, recruitment, training, field experience, evaluation and job placement. Our experience in design and construction, horticulture and sustainable landscape development ensures well-rounded training for participants and state-of-the-art projects for communities.
