NYC CoolRoofs is a program that pays people to paint rooftops. The rooftops are painted with a white, reflective coating.
The reflective coating:
- Cools New York City rooftops
- Reduced building energy consumption
- Reduces citywide carbon emissions
Program participants train for over ten weeks, then they install cool roofs throughout New York City.
Participants earn credentials at no cost, such as:
- The OSHA 30
- First Aid/CPR
- Fireguard
- 4-Hour Flagger
- 4-Hour Scaffolding certifications
Participants also receive career readiness support from The Workforce1 Industrial and Transportation Career Center. This support helps them build skills and prepare for long-term careers in construction.
