Environmental Leadership Initiative Midpoint Convening

Earlier this month, the Liberty Hill team traveled to Oakland, CA to host its Environmental Leadership Initiative Midpoint Convening!

The two-day gathering brought together our first cohort of ELI fellows to build community and discuss strategies for supporting communities impacted by environmental harms and economic inequities.

The program offers aspiring leaders a transformative experience in Environmental Justice and aims to empower individuals from diverse backgrounds who are passionate about driving positive change in their communities.

Through a combination of learning modules, collaborative projects, mentorship, and networking opportunities, program participants have spent the year deepening their understanding of environmental justice principles, engaging in collective movement-building work, and developing the skills necessary to create lasting impact.

The Environmental Leadership Initiative program is hosted by Liberty Hill Foundation through the generous support and investment from the Hewlett Foundation and Packard Foundation. We work in partnership with the community-based Advisory Board who have helped shape this initiative.
