We are actively cultivating youth leadership — serving 6,200+ youth across Turtle Island since 2019 — through interdisciplinary programming rooted in ancestral knowledge, equity, scientific research, workforce development, and climate resilience.
We also strengthen community infrastructure through projects that center healing, land stewardship, urban agriculture, mutual aid, green workforce pathways, and civic engagement. By investing in youth-led solutions and community power, we are building physical, emotional, and cultural resilience across frontline communities while equipping the next generation to shape a more just and sustainable world.
Our impact represents real shifts in how frontline youth and communities understand and transform their environments. From building compost systems and testing soil health to exploring the role of art in climate action, our programs provide frontline youth and communities with tangible pathways to healing, leadership, and employment.

FROM LOCAL ROOTS TO REGIONAL POWER:
HOW OUR MODEL EVOLVED
in 2023, La Plaza Cultural de Armando Perez (Manhattan) — a historic 30,000 sq. ft. community garden — hosted the Convergence, demonstrating community gardens as vital ecological and healing infrastructure.
In 2025, at Socrates Sculpture Park—a 6.28-acre waterfront space, once an abandoned landfill and now a vibrant community hub for art, ecology, and public gatherings—we honored
the power of transformation, connecting art, ecology, and climate resilience through collective learning and creativity.
In 2022, the EMC began as a two-day series of teach-ins led by 11 environmental, cultural, and labor justice advocates sharing actionable frameworks for systems change.
In 2024, we held a more intentional gathering at The Connected Chef’s community food distribution center and urban garden in Long Island City, Queens centering deeper relationship-building, and mutual reciprocity.
In 2026, we will reconvene at Socrates Sculpture Park, deepening youth leadership, community involvement, and local-global movement infrastructure.
