Welcome!



"Give me a chance and I'll take it from there."

The mission of the Greyston Foundation is to support low-income individuals and families as they forge a path to self-sufficiency and community transformation. Greyston is an entrepreneurial and spiritually grounded organization that operates an integrated network of not-for-profit and for-profit companies in Southwest Yonkers (Westchester County, New York) providing jobs, workforce development, housing, youth services and health care.

We recognize that employment is the foundation for self-sufficiency, and having access to opportunity - especially in these uncertain times - is what lots of folks need to move forward on their path. That's why we are proud to introduce the Yonkers Green Connection, a workforce development program that trains participants and places them in employment in the emerging "green collar" sector.

Over the next several weeks you'll meet some great people in this program. Please check back often to support them in their progress and learn more about the program!
