We’re making an impact in communities across the country through our innovative programs.
Inspiring a culture of sustainability.
The climate crisis is a multi-generational issue. Our response is to prepare the next generation.
If our expectation is for the creative class of the next generation to drive the new green economy, then our objective must be to take on the responsibility of providing that generation with the necessary tools to do so.
Your support and involvement are critical to our success. We’d like to thank each financial supporter, volunteer, partner, and community organization for your help in empowering youth to build sustainable communities. We couldn’t do what we do without you.
Because of your support, we have been able to make a huge impact in fighting climate change and inspiring a culture of sustainability and sustainable lifestyles.

“Once more, allow us at Gordon A. Brown Middle School to thank you for your patience and diligence in working with the children of 7B. They have experienced a process that will impact them for the rest of their lives. The message of the interdependence and inter-connectedness of life, hence, the responsibility we have for the environment and each other, has been registered with each and every one of the participants. No.9 delivers!”
“Participating in Imagining My Sustainable City changed my life by showing me that I can change where I live and that I can have an effect on the future. It also shows me what an architect goes through in order for their plans to be successful. I had a lot of fun during this experience.”
“We are the future, so it makes sense to work now to sustain ourselves, our lives and the world.”
No.9 Gardens

Supported 8 local food banks
Our goal is to expand our operations at No.9 Gardens to be able to support local communities with 1,000 pounds of food annually.
“Community Harvest Kingston has benefited greatly from its partnership with No.9 Gardens. Over the past two years, No.9 has supported our market and CSA programs with generous donations of nutritious, local produce weekly. They were instrumental in bringing the FoodWRx project to light and welcomed our students to the farm. We look forward to continuing our relationship with this innovative project!”
“Partners in Mission Food Bank relies on our community for donations. No.9 Gardens’ support has helped us to provide a wider variety of fresh produce to our clients. Thank you, No.9 Gardens!”
