About GOC

Collaboration

We strengthen the collective efforts of our members, the community, and interested parties by connecting them through multiple communication platforms and events.

Education

We educate the public on purposeful environmental issues by maintaining a one-stop source of information to promote local green events, news, and opportunities. We also work with our collaborative partners to bring unique events to the community.

Advocacy

We inform community decision-makers and voters on the importance of environmental sustainability by providing accurate information, advocating before city governance and public officials, and lending our name to written correspondence in order to mobilize change.
