In the US, a strength and key asset of the ICA’s sustainability work is the ICA GreenRise Learning Lab, an eight-story building located in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago. The building was donated to the ICA in 1972 in recognition of the initial Fifth City community development work. ICA GreenRise is a ‘learning laboratory’ for people to dialogue about sustainability and what is possible to do within a mixed-use building. With a number of sustainable retrofits, including a 485 solar panel array, the building is a place to meet, collaborate, share resources, and learn sustainable practices. In 2021 the GreenRise launched the "Carbon Free Building Demonstrations" program, an Uptown collaborative of six buildings with the goal of becoming carbon free by 2030.

ICA's Technology of Participation facilitation methodology harnesses the energy and wisdom of a group to build consensus and create and implement strategic plans. Currently, the ToP Network consists of over 130 licensed trainers and certified facilitators who deliver facilitation services and training across the nation.

The ICA houses the Global Archives, hosts the Global Schedule of Events and collaborates with the ICAI. ICA staff and volunteers have organized the sixty year history of the EI/ICA into nine collections of historical documentation (e.g.community projects in all 24 global time zones, Town Meetings, inner life exercises, transformative courses, and publications of books and periodicals). This information is available on the website - icaglobalarchives.org - for the purpose of sharing wisdom and tools with people concerned about social and environmental justice. The Global Schedule of Events on this website connects people around the world with these resources and enables dialogue with today's creative responses to challenges.
