GVI, in partnership with Riverside and San Bernardino's Workfoce Investment Boards and through the funding of Regional Industry Clusters of Opportunity are focusing investments on industry clusters in order to have economic impacts on workers and businesses. Workers gain access to career pathways for employment in competitive green industries and businesses gain access to specialized workforce.
Partnership Initiative
GIVE’s Partnership Initiative develops relationships with businesses, institutions, and governments to provide resources, tools and education that affect their business internally and/or the clientele they serve.
Presently a partnership formed with the California Department of Conservation, and three minor league baseball teams (Storm, 66ers, and Quakes) to form a strategic combination of programs, messages and incentives promoting recycling at stadium games and events as well as out in the communities they serve thus educating patrons about the importance of reusing and recycling.
Grassroots Initiative
GIVE’s Grassroots Initiative is contextual and local. The goal is to collaborate with neighborhoods and community alliances to provide them support and strategic guidance to encourage, create, and educate sustainable living within concentrated areas. Each activity and partnership offers a unique piece towards the overall sustainability of the region.
