The Virginia Conservation Network is once again partnering with BlackOak Collective to bring Virginia’s environmental community Black In Green: a virtual conservation career panel! 

Black In Green seeks to connect young Black professionals launching careers within Virginia’s environmental movement with Black environmental advocacy leaders. Through this connection, Black In Green will create space for the Black environmental leaders of today to guide and inspire the Black leaders of tomorrow.

The Black In Green Conservation Career Panel will be held virtually on Wednesday, February 22nd, from 5:30 – 6:30 pm. If you are interested in attending or know of someone who might, please feel free to apply below or share the event with them.

BlackOak Collective is a rapidly growing Black environmental networking organization. They combine the power of networking with digital engagement to create a safe space for Black environmental career development, support, and community. Their geographic focus is physically in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) region, and digitally across the US.

VCN and BlackOak teamed up in late 2020 to help expand the pipeline of Black professionals launching careers within Virginia’s environmental movement by connecting talented Black individuals with VCN’s network of 150 conservation and climate organizations.
