In an effort to help girls overcome their fear of water and gain necessary life skills, we are currently piloting a new component of our program. Free swim lessons! Our goal is to support EmpowHer Girls in gaining the confidence to engage with the ocean and environmental science. Check out week two of the four-week class. Shout-out to Constant Evolution Fitness & CPT for collaborating with us on this amazing opportunity for our girls!

On September 3, we brought together 90 women in the nonprofit sector for what many participants described as a 'much-needed mental health break from carrying the weight of misogynoir.'

The 2026 Black Women Nonprofit Leaders Forum was a resounding success.

Thank you to our keynote speaker, Tarana Burke, our morning plenary speaker, Esther A. Armah, our afternoon panelists Jai Phillips and Bre Onna Mathis, all of our breakout session facilitators, and our attendees for your vulnerability, for sharing your toolkits and knowledge, and for making the day so special. A BIG thank you as well to our sponsors, The Weingart Foundation, JPMorganChase, and CA Black Women's Collective Empowerment Institute, for helping make this program possible.

September is Latinx Heritage Month. What better way to celebrate than by spotlighting some outstanding young Latinx leaders whose work sits at the front lines of climate and environmental justice!

Isabella Fallahi brings a strong voice to youth climate organizing. As a former Communications Director for Zero Hour and co‑founder of Polluters Out, she’s challenged fossil fuel influence in global climate spaces. Building on that momentum, Jamie Margolin helped turn youth activism into a worldwide movement. She co-founded Zero Hour, led the international Youth Climate March, authored Youth to Power, and served as a plaintiff in a major climate lawsuit pushing for government accountability. And here in Los Angeles, Nalleli Cobo shows the impact of community‑rooted leadership. Her organizing shut down the toxic AllenCo oil site and helped drive LA’s decision to ban new oil drilling. This earned her the Goldman Environmental Prize and a spot on TIME’s 100 Next list. Isabella, Jaime, and Nalleli have turned their lived experiences into leadership that protects and empowers their communities and beyond.
