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.
Our Community Alliance brings together a critical mass of voices from communities of color, strengthening our voice of reason and making our ideas heard. We work with our partners to mobilize our communities to march, to testify, and to contact policy-makers so that our communities become healthier, safer, and more just.
