Project Description
This project overall aims to facilitate environmental education for students of color and increase minority access to the outdoors through immersive experiences. The first objective is necessary to diversifying environmental education that students of color receive on this campus at a level that is immediately feasible, inspiring, and desperately needed. ... This project will be aiming to foster an intersectional environmental movement by hosting a conference that inspires and empowers underrepresented folx in the environmental movement. The conference will be made up of keynotes, panels, and workshops from environmentalists of color that will be centered around shifting the environmental movement to prioritizing those most marginalized by environmental degradation. ... Our second objective of this project aims to reclaiming outdoor space for POC with two retreats (Fall and Spring) outside the urban environment.
