Beloved Community Equity at Work: Environmental and Energy Justice Cohort
The South Central TCTAC, an EPA Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Center, is launching an Equity at Work Cohort focused on supporting organizations in advancing their commitments to equitable and inclusive practices through their work in the Environmental/Energy sector. The equity at work cohort will be led by South Central TCTAC partner Beloved Community, a leader in fostering programs to advance equity in the workplace. The cohort brings together leadership teams for a 1-year equity journey. Beloved Community supports this select group of organizations to assess their practices, operationalize their equity commitments, develop sustainable equity solutions for their work, and advocate for inclusive practices for the environmental/energy workforce. Organizations will engage in region-wide interactions in each of the monthly capacity building sessions that will allow for peer learning and best practice sharing across Region 6. All teams conduct an organizational Equity Audit and complete the cohort with a multi-year Equity Work Plan. Beloved Community is able to bring this scope of work to employers at no-cost through its partnership with the South Central.
