About Runway Green

Runway Green is a non-profit, public-private partnership that is reimagining education and workforce development, creating pathways for New York City students and families to thrive and build a better world. In partnership with the National Park Service, we are developing an unprecedented education and workforce development ecosystem on some of our region’s most ecologically rich parklands at Brooklyn’s Floyd Bennett Field.

Why Now?

Global Challenges Are Mounting

The next generation is our hope for the future, but education and workforce development systems are failing our students. 

Outdated education systems are failing to prepare students for new careers created by fast-evolving economies.
