Thanks in advance for your donation to Baltimore Green Justice Workers Cooperative (BGJWC). It means so much to us that you have invested in our mission and vision. We appreciate your support.
Mission Statement:
Baltimore Green Justice Workers Cooperative equips people from marginalized, under-served neighborhoods with innovative, out-of-the box green solutions that help them shift power dynamics and create more beautiful, energy-efficient, safe spaces in their communities.
Vision Statement:
We envision a world where people of color from marginalized and under-served communities are no longer disproportionately impacted by environmental, social and/or economic injustices but are empowered through education, training, professional development, advocacy and outreach to design, develop, establish, implement and sustain high-quality green jobs programs, projects, coops, businesses, organizations and initiatives that equip them and other stakeholders with the power, confidence, skills, resources and influence to make every community across the globe a better place to live work play, pray and learn.
Founded in December 2022, BGJWC is a nonprofit start-up. 2023 was a year of planning and implementation of community-building events to grow BGJWC's capacity and stakeholder network. In 2023, BGJWC obtain its IRS tax-exemption too. In addition to hosting several web-based community dialogues and podcasts on environmental justice, green coops and green careers, BGJWC worked diligently with community partners to plan the launch of its Offshore Wind Workforce Development Training pilot as part of its Baltimore Green Jobs Academy. BGJWC has also been working in two neighborhoods in Baltimore to build dialogue around climate change and solar power battery storage issues. In 2024, BGJWC is set to launch the Offshore Wind Worker Safety Training Pilot via its Baltimore Green Jobs Academy.
Your donation will help BGJWC cover needed administrative/operational costs and support its four main focus areas: (1) Building Communities; (2) Green Jobs, Economy; (3) Advocacy, Policy & Research; and (4) YOUTH WARRIORS Action Fund.
Many thanks in advance for your continued support!
