Nonprofit Inclusiveness: Tools for the Journey PowerPoint
Nonprofit Inclusiveness: Tools for the Journey PowerPoint is from the May 6, 2009 Professional DEEvelopment presentation and discussion on inclusiveness and diversity in environmental educational organizations. Our presenters were Katherine Pease, who consults with nonprofit organizations on how to create diversity and inclusiveness in nonprofit organizations and is the author of The Denver Foundation's workbook, Inclusiveness at Work: How to Build Inclusive Nonprofit Organizations; and Nicole Todd, who is Support Services Director at CityWILD, a Denver-based environmental educational organization that has been engaged in a comprehensive inclusiveness initiative over the last three years. Based on work done by The Denver Foundation's Inclusiveness Project and CityWILD, the presenters provided a concrete model for increasing organizational diversity and inclusiveness, and shared lessons learned about challenges and opportunities that arise in this important and complex work.

Yep, We're Too White
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson called for greater diversity in the environmental movement while speaking to the National Environmental Justice Advisory Council last week. Jackson said that environmentalism does not come in any one shape, size, or look and that it is also about protecting people in the places where they live, work, and rear families. The Sierra Club not only agrees with her, we're also doing something about it with diversity programs ranging from our Environmental Justice and Community Partnerships program to Building Bridges to the Outdoors for inner-city youth.
