Interns and Fellows of Color Networking Mixer
This event is for INTERNS and FELLOWS ONLY.
Young people of color in the environmental movement need spaces to connect and build community together. We believe that representation and inclusivity are vital in the environmental movement, and this event aims to celebrate the power and potential of young people of color in driving change. Together, we can break barriers, challenge the status quo, and create a more equitable and sustainable environmental movement. Join Green 2.0 and GreenLatinos for a networking event to celebrate and connect the power of young people of color in the environmental sector.
There will be snacks and beverages provided. This event is 18+, but will require all attendees to show ID to consume alcoholic beverages. Non-alcoholic beverages will also be available to everyone.
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED TO ATTEND.

PAST EVENTS
In order to build an effective environmental movement, we must have an intersectional approach that includes all communities. As young people of color enter the environmental workforce, it is essential for them to be set up with resources, tools, and programs that will support and empower them. Join Green 2.0 for a discussion with young leaders of color in the movement focused on the tools and resources needed and available for young people of color to enter and thrive in the environmental sector.
Affinity groups and Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are critical to building a culture of inclusivity and diversity within organizations. It has been demonstrated that the existence of these groups boosts feelings of inclusion and community for employees from marginalized communities and improves attraction and retention of diverse talent. Join Green 2.0 for a conversation with affinity group and ERG leaders about the importance of these groups and how organizational leadership can support them.
In 2023, conservative activists seeking to reverse progress that makes our society more equitable, launched an attack on diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ). As we enter 2024, organizations and DEIJ leaders are working diligently to protect this critical work and evaluate how to continue to defend equity and justice for all. Join Green 2.0 for a conversation with leaders working on equity to discuss expectations for 2024 and how we can strengthen our commitment to equity and justice in the face of these challenges.
For the seventh consecutive year, Green 2.0 presents data on the diversity of staff and inclusivity practices of non-profit organizations (“NGOs”) and foundations in the environmental sector. The report will include updated data about the racial and ethnic diversity of environmental organizations’ key decision-makers and staff, and contains new indicators of diversity and inclusion including gender identity, gender identity for staff of color, and disability status.
