UPROSE is dedicated to the development of Southwest Brooklyn and the empowerment of its residents primarily through broad and converging environmental, sustainable development, and youth justice campaigns.  Founded in 1966, UPROSE is Brooklyn’s oldest Latino community-based organization.  In 1996 our mission shifted to organizing, advocacy and developing intergenerational, indigenous leadership through activism around a host of environmental justice issues.  We aim to ensure and heighten community awareness and involvement, develop participatory community planning practices, and promote sustainable development with justice and governmental accountability.
