About YBCL

In the spirit of Octavia Butler, Harriet Tubman and countless Black ancestors who were geniuses in ecological and cultural beauty, we gather and build.

YBCL provides opportunities for Black youth to expand their roles as environmental and climate leaders. Through events (Dream Labs) and resources like the YBCL scholarship and a youth-directed fund (coming soon), YBCL supports the dreams and climate futures of Black youth as they develop and lead.

YBCL supports a growing, vibrant ecosystem of young Black leaders successfully advocating for and transforming their communities for racial and environmental justice with access to support, resources, and funding while transforming the broader climate movement.

Please connect with us, spread the word, and support YBCL.
