Are you passionate about shifting resources to communities of color who are working at the intersection of racial and social justice and the environment? Are you excited about joining a bold, women of color-led, innovative organization with a dynamic team that is deeply committed to its mission? If so, this position may be for you. Justice Outside advances racial justice and equity in the outdoor and environmental movement. We shift resources to, build power with, and center the voices and leadership of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color because the health of current and future generations demands it.
To build a more just and sustainable outdoor and environmental movement, the Liberated Paths Grantmaking Program supports outdoor initiatives and organizations that cultivate and celebrate the contributions of Black, Indigenous, and Communities of Color. In addition to grantmaking, we offer grantees capacity building opportunities that include networking with like-minded organizations, training sessions and affinity spaces.
We are currently seeking a full-time Grantmaking & Program Manager to lead our Liberated Paths grantmaking program as we prepare to distribute federal funding for the first time. This funding is specific to urban forestry work so our ideal candidate should be familiar with the broad landscape of community-led urban forestry.
