2. Inclusive hiring practices: Our team reflects the diversity of the communities we serve, with a focus on hiring women, people of color, and youth.
3. Education and training: We provide workshops, training sessions, and educational materials to equip underrepresented groups with the knowledge and skills to advocate for climate action.
4. Leadership development: We identify and support emerging leaders from underrepresented groups, providing them with mentorship, resources, and opportunities to take on leadership roles.

Within our organization:

1. Our board of directors comprises 60% women and 40% people of color.
2. Our staff is 50% women, 30% people of color, and 20% youth.
3. We have established an advisory committee comprising representatives from underrepresented groups to ensure their voices and perspectives inform our work.
