"GYF is empowering youth of color to become leaders in outdoor recreation, climate change advocacy, and sustainable careers—careers that people of color have traditionally been excluded from. Through innovative programs and opportunities, we are breaking barriers, building inclusive pathways, and cultivating a generation of stewards who reflect the rich diversity of our world—ensuring that the future of conservation is as equitable as it is green."
Rivian Foundation's grant
Rivian Foundation's support is helping GYF to expand training programs, including for tree equity initiatives and urban forestry work in the Metro Atlanta area of Georgia. It is also helping GYF to make investments that will help enable the continued growth and impact of GYF’s mission, including enhancing finance and operations functions and its grants management system.
