YOUNG GIFTED & GREEN

MEMPHIS, TN

    • Mission

    To empower communities to take action and advocate against the crisis of lead exposure and environmental injustice in disadvantaged communities.

    About Us

    Our roots began as a programming initiative within Thursday Network-Greater Washington Urban League Professionals led by LaTricea Adams, Founder, President, and CEO of Young, Gifted and Green.

    Our movement started at the heart of the (still ongoing) Flint Water Crisis. We had a passion for change that we simply could not ignore: a city’s water source. Our first project was to support the Buffalo Urban League Young Professionals Chapter by bringing in donations in preparation for a Flint Service Trip, where we helped bring in over 170 water donations.

    Although proud of our efforts, we realized that water donations are simply not enough. Real change would only happen by getting to the heart of the issue. Lead poisoning has been an ongoing issue for those, especially in underserved communities.

    Now that our organization is expanding to involve more issues, our mission is the same. We will not stand by and simply ignore environmental issues impacting our communities.
