The Green Collar Project will prepare HOPE students and graduates for jobs in an environmental field while providing family sustaining wages, safe working conditions, and chances for advancement. This includes jobs in the fields of construction, energy efficiency, horticulture, building retrofitting, transportation, manufacturing sectors, and more.

The Green Collar Project is supported by Sharp Electronics, which created a groundbreaking tower of AQUOS LCD televisions - the AQUOS Experience - in Grand Central Terminal. Two kiosks will flank the AQUOS Experience, where consumers can enter a sweepstakes to win one of 43 TVs from the tower. As part of this initiative, Sharp will donate $1 to HOPE for every individual who enters the sweepstakes, with a minimum total donation of $50,000.
