EDUCATE TO LIBERATE!

Hi. We're Start:Empowerment - a BIPOC-led non-profit at the nexus of climate education, solutions, and environmental justice.

We offer high-quality, justice-centric climate education by combining science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics (STEAM) skills and traditional ecological knowledge.

Our mission is to empower the youth of color to innovate, imagine, and build a just and sustainable future.
