We reconnect Black and other equity-denied communities with nature through environmental education, cultural learning, and hands-on experiences. Our programs raise awareness of environmental challenges, celebrate Black environmental history and leadership, and strengthen understanding of the connections between social, economic, and environmental well-being. We aim to cultivate a new generation of environmental stewards who are equipped to care for their communities, protect natural spaces, and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future.

We help address barriers to employment and economic opportunity by connecting community members with training, internships, mentorship, and career pathways in the green economy. We work with employers, governments, educational institutions, and community partners to increase access to green jobs and emerging industries. We also support aspiring entrepreneurs and community leaders in building businesses and initiatives that generate environmental, social, and economic benefits.

We work to ensure that Black and other equity-denied communities have access to healthy environments and are prepared for the impacts of climate change. This includes promoting access to clean air, clean water, healthy green spaces, urban forests, and nature-based solutions that improve community well-being. We also strengthen local relationships and community networks that can support resilience, mutual support, and preparedness during environmental, economic, and public health challenges.
