Environmental Educators of Color (EEOC) is an affinity group created for self identified people of color to  address the unique needs of educators of color whose work is related to environmental education.  Since 2016, this community has come together for dialogue over food and community building.  These events have taken place primarily in San Francisco, and we are excited to help host a South Bay event on Saturday August 31st. 6:00 -8:30pm at Bernal-Gulnac-Joice Ranch in the Santa Teresa County Park Historic Area.. For folks from San Francisco or the East Bay who are interested in attend, we will have a limited carpool available.

Attached are some community agreements we have adopted as well as a set of values that were created.

We invite you to come thru! Connect with others in the environmental education field.  

This is a safe space for POC - We would like to emphasize that this event is for those who identify as people of color. If you have questions about the intent or event itself, please feel free to contact  (Ernesto@parksconservancy.org)

If you identify as a POC working in outdoor spaces and not necessarily an educator, you are still welcome!
