The Green Corps job program focuses on environmental justice, sustainable native reforestation, riparian buffer planting, invasive removal, urban agriculture and arboriculture, and green controls of urban systems, such as storm and sewer flows. The Green Corps and Center have a referral system to help participants connect to jobs through a wide range of agencies, professional and trade associations, trades and professions and industries. Education and Outreach- Washington Parks and People offers programs that inform the public about the various uses and the history of public parks located in the Washington DC metro area.

The organization continues to partner with the local and federal governments and diverse communities to reclaim parklands across the District of Columbia, with current focus on Marvin Gaye Park in Far Northeast DC and Meridian Hill/ Malcolm X Park in Columbia Heights.
