The Virginia Conservation Network partnered with BlackOak Collective to host Virginia’s 3rd annual Black In Green Career Panel, connecting young Black professionals with Black leaders in the conservation movement.
VCN has welcomed three new fellows – Anjel Iriaghomo, Victoria Jenkins and Katherine Hewes – into the Environmental Advocacy Fellowship for fall 2023. The three fellows will be working on various projects that include but are not limited to: creating an Environmental Glossary, writing blog posts, and expanding VCN's awareness with video production.
The Black In Green Career Panel connects young Black professionals with Black environmental advocacy leaders in the conservation movement.
Our DEIJ Shared Learning Cohort provides VCN Partners with a space to recognize, explore, and address the diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) inherent to our environmental community.
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.
