About Us – BE Initiative

We Are Initiative environnementale noire

L’Initiative environnementale noire (BEI) a vu le jour en 2019 sous la forme d’un réseau de bénévoles fondé par Naolo Charles, bringing together dozens of committed volunteers across several cities. We have since grown into a registered non-profit promoting black-led environmental engagement and protection for communities. Since 2019, we have led successful environmental initiatives in black and other equity-denied communities with a focus on four areas:

We help prepare our communities for the impacts of climate change.

Green Jobs

We train and place young workers, newcomers, youth-at risk and people with barriers to employment in green jobs with a focus on 4 sectors: green construction, climate science, environmental policy, and nature-based work.

We work in solidarity with Indigenous people, brown people and white allies. We work with anyone who is committed to environmental justice regardless of racial identity, ethnicity, faith, gender, sexual orientation and political affiliations.
