Environmental Professionals of Color (EPOC) EE Gathering Series

A group of co-workers of varying genders having a meeting

Environmental Professionals of Color (EPOC): A network by and for People of Color working in the environmental movement.

Center for Diversity and Environment (CDE) is excited to announce the offering of a year-long EPOC virtual Gathering Series within EE (traditional environmental education; Indigenous science; Traditional Ecological Knowledge, and other nontraditional and culturally relevant forms of environmental education).

EPOC offers the chance to recharge, address emergent issues and energize people with the knowledge that they are not alone in this work. The transformational and healing elements of this year-long work is grounded in relationship building, focused on relevant and emergent topics identified by the participants, with actions taken toward healing and justice.

You are invited to attend as many sessions as you are able. Register today and participate in the series >
