A SPACE FOR YOU TO GROW
WHO WE ARE
We're tapping into the existing power that all low-income youth and youth of color have to make grassroots change. We're en route to environmental justice.
YoR was founded by Candice Youngblood to honor and extend the reach of existing California community-based organizations fighting for environmental justice. Our founder's goal was to create what she wished she had in retrospect: an accessible community in which underserved youth can conceptualize, contextualize, and combat environmental racism. In 2020, YoR formally began with fiscal sponsorship from Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs (SEE), a 501(c)(3) organization.
