"At The Blueprint Foundation, our program model follows a 4-phase W.I.S.E. approach, where Black youth (W)itness natural areas and ecosystems, (I)nvestigate environmental issues, (S)olve problematic environmental impacts, and (E)ducate their community about the environmental issues they learn about and efforts to mitigate them. These phases are integrated into culturally specific mentoring programs focusing on environmental science and green sector career exploration in the Portland Metro Area."

"At Through The Trees Collective (T3C), our vision is to serve as a source of empowerment and connection for Black, Indigenous, and Brown communities in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. T3C is rooted in ancestral wisdom and cultural resilience, and aims to lead at the intersection of nature, healing, and community.

We foster spaces where individuals can reclaim their heritage, find belonging in community, and most importantly thrive."
