Abstract
Since 2011, the City of Wilmington’s Department of Parks and Recreation and the University of Delaware’s Water Resources Center (UDWRC) have partnered to lead the City’s Green Jobs Program. This Impact Study evaluated the City of Wilmington Green Jobs Program from 2011 to 2023 while providing program hosts, alumni, and interested parties with the history of the program, program statistics, and a summary of the survey results. This analysis was funded by the University of Delaware’s Community Engagement Initiative’s Wilmington Partnership Mini-Grants. The project was led by UDWRC in partnership with the City of Wilmington Department of Parks and Recreation. The project team collected and summarized program statistics, researched comparable national and local programs, developed survey instruments, coordinated the survey administration, analyzed survey responses, and summarized the findings.
