Welcome to the GBRI Family

Building a Greener and More Equitable World, together!

At GBRI, we understand that no single person holds the key to transformative change. Rather, it is the collective effort of individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and professions that propels us toward a more sustainable and equitable future. History is proof that collaboration and shared vision are the cornerstone of human advancement.

For those involved in sustainability—be it students, academics, or professionals—the GBRI Community serves as a dynamic platform. It welcomes thinkers and innovators of all backgrounds to collaborate, ensuring that our pursuit of a sustainable future is inclusive and equitable. We are committed to breaking down the barriers that limit conventional thinking, be they related to race, gender, religion, or nationality. Our community is designed to empower each of its members to learn, act, and make a lasting impact.

Welcome home to the GBRI community, where learning is just the beginning of our collective journey toward sustainability and equity.
About us

Our Story

Born in San Antonio, Texas, and now headquartered in New York City, GBRI stands as a testimony to grassroots efforts in democratizing sustainability education. Our founder, Jeslin Varghese, launched our first course ‘Elements of a Green Home’ from his apartment. Within a year, we became educational partners with organizations like the USGBC and AIA. As our user base grew, so did the industry competition, leading us to adapt. Despite these challenges, Jeslin keeps his passion for GBRI alive through his full-time role as Director of Project Controls at the MTA, teaching at GBRI, and managing the team in his spare time.

Our Mission

Sustainability isn’t just about the environment; it’s about creating an equitable future for all. GBRI was founded on this belief. Our mission is to democratize access to sustainability resources globally. Through a variety of online courses, webinars, and outreach programs, we provide comprehensive education on topics like climate change, green building standards, and social equity.

Our Vision

We strive for a world where quality sustainability education is not a privilege but a right accessible to everyone. We are committed to empowering global communities and fostering a more sustainable and equitable future for all.

Our Education Partners

Collaboration is at the heart of GBRI. In addition to partnering with the USGBC and AIA, we have formed alliances with other pivotal organizations such as the UN SDGs, CHPs, and the Rhode Island Council of Energy Efficiency, among others.”

Realizing Our Vision Through Our Partner Team

GBRI is a diverse tapestry of over 200 subject matter experts committed to transformative educational content. This multicultural, inclusive work environment allows us to foster relationships with regional partners. Together, we grow and amplify our collective impact

Strategic Collaborations

GBRI seeks to form impactful collaborations distinct from our established partnerships with industry leaders like USGBC and AIA. We are interested in working closely with:

  • Organizations, both for-profit and non-profit, whose sustainability goals resonate with our mission.
  • Academic institutions offering programs in engineering and architecture.
  • Architecture and engineering firms of all sizes, looking for continuing education options.
  • Local and international professional organizations and chapters aiming to educate their members.

These collaborations aim to expand our collective reach and impact, separate from our existing educational partnerships and influencer programs. We warmly invite organizations with shared objectives to initiate a conversation with us.

Our Impact

Through our initiatives, we have touched the lives of thousands, offering meaningful paths toward sustainability. Despite being a small organization, our impact is potent and wide-reaching. During the pandemic, we awarded over 4,000 scholarships for LEED and WELL Exam Prep, volunteered to deliver meals, and contributed masks and tuition assistance. At GBRI, we firmly believe in the unity of the human tribe.
