Our Mission
Howard EcoWorks is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and a regional force for social and environmental change, dedicated to empowering communities and diverse workforces to respect and restore our natural systems for future generations. Our vision is to create innovative solutions, partnerships, and a skilled workforce to support resilient communities.
​
Soak It Up! is our annual fundraising event where we celebrate our projects and program participants while providing networking opportunities for sponsors, donors, and clients.
​
This year in particular, the proceeds from our fundraiser will help us fund a new property that will allow us to expand our services in the region. Your support will help us continue to engage and educate the community about environmental issues, while creating pathways to green jobs through our workforce development programs.
