EMPOWERING HBCU STUDENTS TO LEAD IN SUSTAINABILITY

The HBCU Green Fund Fellows program empowers students from historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) to lead the way in green innovation. Through comprehensive training, mentorship, and hands-on experience, fellows gain valuable knowledge and skills in renewable energy technologies, urban agriculture and eco-friendly transit. The program bridges the gap between academia and industry, offering students exposure to thought leaders and networking opportunities. This initiative is empowering the next generation of clean economy leaders.
