Join Next 100 Colorado's BIPOC Affinity Space
Some environmental and outdoor nonprofits and groups in Colorado have enough employees, and employees of color, to create affinity groups or employee resource groups to share joy, struggles, resources, and ask for assistance navigating the spaces they are in. These groups help employees not feel alone while helping their employer with recruitment, retention, and help to provide support for marginalized employees.

Some nonprofits in Colorado don't have that kind of support, and some have only one marginalized employee. This can lead to isolation and a lack of people power in situations when having a "second" would help in bringing inclusion and equity issues to the forefront. In some cases, it can cause Black, Indigenous, and/or people of color (BIPOC) talent to leave the environmental nonprofit sector altogether in search of spaces that more readily accept, protect, and celebrate them.

Next 100 Colorado has created a community of BIPOC who work in the environmental and outdoor fields, and have created a bi-monthly Affinity Space to fill that void!

Do you readily identify as Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color (BIPOC)? If you do not, this space is not for you. If you are BIPOC and have complicated feelings about your identity, this space may be for you and we will happily have further discussion with you. We recognize that colonization has, at times, kept us feeling separated from our heritage and Imposter Syndrome can set in. We are happy to assure folks that they belong.  *
Do you currently work in or otherwise give your time and energy to conservation, outdoor recreation, or public lands spaces? If you do not, this space is not for you.  *
Are you in Colorado? If not, this space is not for you. *
Are there any topics you would like to see discussed in an upcoming BIPOC Affinity Space Meeting? This could be anything you're struggling with or things you'd like to learn more about.
Is there anyone you'd like to uplift as a facilitator for BIPOC Affinity Space Meetings (including yourself)? The facilitator must readily identify as BIPOC and is responsible for directing participants through the schedule, requesting and collecting new shared agreements for our conversations, bringing people back to the shared agreements if they've overstepped, and making space for folks who may need extra space to speak up. The facilitator would also be a participant, so they can get the support they need as well.

Facilitators and facilitator teams (should folks wish to facilitate together) will be paid a $500 stipend for the facilitation of the meeting.

Please share the name(s) and contact information for anyone you'd like to uplift for this opportunity.
