Our Work

Our Three Pilars

POCIE operationalizes our mission through the pursuit of three fundamental pillars of work.

Community Building

POCIE creates space for climate and environmental professionals of color to gather, rest, rejuvenate, build community, and promote social and professional networking.

Professional Development

We create opportunities for cross-sector collaborations that center the needs of the people and communities most impacted by environmental injustice.

Outreach & Engagement

Our Pathways Programs target racial equity in Massachusetts’ environmental field by providing high level, hands-on, and well paid fellowships for BIPOC students and early career professionals.
