Job Openings
GWL’s mission and operations are premised on the understanding that environmental conditions are inextricably linked to economic and social health.
Consequently, GWL is committed to “changing places, changing lives, and changing systems” through on-the-ground projects and community-informed programming that help to transform neighborhoods. We strive to create an equitable community where the residents of Greater Lawrence – at all stages of life – feel they belong, are safe, supported, and empowered; where healthy living is the norm; and where everyone’s neighborhood is a resilient environment that thrives with parks, trees, and open space.
How we work is as important as what we do. We are committed to building race, equity, diversity, and inclusion (REDI) into our personnel policies, decision-making processes, and organizational strategies.
