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 quality justice-centered environmental, climate, and political education, skills-based training, and grassroots support 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.
