The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) is the leading not-for-profit organization dedicated to building strong, vibrant and resilient communities through the power of parks and recreation. NRPA advances this vision by investing in and championing the work of park and recreation professionals as a catalyst for positive change in service of equity, climate-readiness, and overall health and well-being.

The Center for Sustainable Communities (CSC) is a non-profit whose aim is to make communities cleaner, healthier, safer, and more climate resilient through equity and environmental justice. It performs its mission primarily through the use of science, technology, engineering, and scientific research to provide effective solutions to mitigate a wide variety of environmental, climate, and social justice issues in our most underserved and under-resourced communities.

At Greenpeace USA, we’re centering our movement on the most impacted and marginalized to ensure no one gets left behind. To effectively challenge the systems of power and privilege that destroy the environment, we must meet people where they are, going to the most directly impacted people–workers, people of faith, young people and students, parents, Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities–and craft solutions together.

For more than 100 years, NPCA has been honored to carry on this responsibility. Together with our community partners, we protect and defend America’s national parks — and are inspiring the next generation of advocates to speak out and care for them, too.

Justice Outside advances racial justice and equity in the outdoor and environmental movement. We shift resources to, build power with, and center the voices and leadership of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color because the health of current and future generations demands it.
