EDUCATE TO LIBERATE! 

Hi. We're Start:Empowerment. A rapidly growing youth and BIPOC-led nonprofit at the nexus of climate education and environmental justice organizing. 

​

We provide high quality justice-centered environmental, climate, and political education skills-based training and grassroots support necessary for youth and communities of color to organize for climate and environmental justice. 

​

Our mission is to mobilize education and action to achieve social-environmental justice and liberation for all. 

Listen. Create. Impact. 

We want to work with you to transform your classroom, curricula, and communities; we have revolutionary services to help you acoomplish all of that and more!

Alongside teachers, organizers, and activists, we create learning experiences that lead to action. 

​

Through our public events and organizing work, we're fostering the next generation of climate change-makers! 

​

Since it's conception in 2019, Start:Empowerment is proud to have impacted 3,800+ students, youth, educators, and community organizers across New York and Texas.
