Black & Green Fellowship is a paid leadership program for BBPU students focused on building connections to community, identity, and the outdoors.
Over four Saturdays, students will spend time in local nature spaces learning from Black professionals about environmental justice, wellness, and leadership. The program centers on hands-on experiences, reflection, and community-building to foster confidence and a sense of belonging in outdoor spaces.
