Are you a BIPOC high school or college student who wants to
become more involved in community organizing?
This 7-week workshop is a space for students of color to explore leadership opportunities within the fight for environmental justice. The program will be held at the Beyond Toxics office* in the Eugene/Springfield area. We will also volunteer at a community garden, create a collaborative art piece with a local artist and learn from community partners! Participants will receive a $400 stipend amount.

Students in the Rise As Leaders program help harvest vegetables, prepare crops for the winter season, and set up a greenhouse with staff from Huerto de la Familia. Eva, pictured here, finds a carrot during her tenure working in the Spenser Butte Community Garden in the Fall 2023 Cohort group.
A bountiful harvest of carrots!
