Join Us on Saturday, August 14th, for Champions to Changemakers, a virtual graduation and community celebration honoring the 2019-2021 Community Impact and Green Pathways Fellows. Grab your ticket today, we’ll see you in August!
RVC’s Community Impact Fellowship Program places talented leaders of color in a two-year, full-time position at local grassroots organizations that are led by and serve people of color.
The Green Pathways Fellowship Program creates a pathway for future leaders of color in the green sector, while providing living wage, entry-level positions with benefits in the environmental justice movement.
Today, there’s an urgent need for organizations led by communities of color to be stable and do their work effectively. However, many organizations have to spend a significant amount of time and energy on operations, such as financial management, HR, payroll, legal compliance, or insurance. RVC believes there’s another way.
RVC’s capacity building support goes hand-in-hand with our Fellowships and Operations Support Programs. Together we work with our partners to identify strategies, goals, priorities, and key elements of their organization, as well as building systems or infrastructure that allows organizations to better carry out their mission in sustainable and equitable ways.
Those that are attracted to the nonprofit sector tend to be a caring bunch. They are often paid under-market wages and work long hours, justified (by both ourselves and our employers) by the meaning we derive from our work and the good we are doing in the world.
This week we join the Black community, along with communities of oppressed people from across the world, as we rejoice in the guilty verdict against the murderer of George Floyd.
RVC Seattle (RVC) strongly condemns anti-Asian violence in any and all forms. We stand with our AAPI community. We share our grief, fear, rage, and solidarity with the loved ones of the eight people murdered in Atlanta and their communities.
