Join Us for Solar One’s People-Power for the Planet Community Social
On Tuesday, September 9th, 2025, Solar One is hosting the People-Power for the Planet Community Social: a joyful, outdoor celebration for the Grand Opening of the brand-new Solar One Environmental Education Center. From hands-on learning programs to green space restoration and environmental advocacy, Solar One brings people-power together to produce real climate solutions for our planet right here in our own NYC neighborhoods.
This community social is the first of a 2-part celebration, followed in October by the Solar One Gala: Learning & Growing Together—a festive evening, recognizing those who helped make the Solar One vision a reality.
As our programs and our footprint grow, please join us as a sponsor or ticket holder for one or both events.

About Solar One: Our mission is to support underserved communities through innovative K-12 STEM education, green workforce training and job placement, solar technical assistance, and land stewardship that fosters sustainability and resiliency across NYC and beyond.
About The Environmental Education Center (S1EEC) Grand Opening: A visionary project more than 20 years in the making, from the opening of Stuy Cove Park in 2000, to overcoming the devastating setbacks of Superstorm Sandy. Back then, our community voiced a powerful support for a space dedicated to sustainability, native plants, and environmental education for students and residents to engage in bettering our local NYC ecosystem to create safe and beautiful neighborhoods for our families and children. Solar One was formed as the organization that would achieve these goals.
Now integrated into the newly redesigned flood-resilient landscape, the Environmental Education Center stands as a beacon of resilience and community. Come celebrate this incredible milestone with the fellow donors, stakeholders, staff, friends, and neighbors who made this possible at a spirited soirée by the East River honoring our shared commitment to a greener future.
