Event Description:
In Cleveland, Ohio conservation looks like healing our relationship with each other and with land that has been historically misused, polluted, and abused. As a deindustrialized city where the smokestacks of the steel industry still dot our skyline, where lead and toxins are found in our soil, the Latine Environmental Colectivo seeks to center lived experiences of our comunidad and to be a catalyst for environmental change.
Cafecito Green is a conversation that will provide a platform for the comunidad to discuss environmental and conservation concerns that are impacting our local Latine community. Conservation and environmental areas of concern that are specific to the Cleveland Latine community will be identified and serve as the guiding direction of the Latine Environmental Colectivo. Join us and members of the Latine community for café y conversación, bringing forward these issues to promise a better future for nuestra comunidad.
Thank you to our host site and organization First Tee Cleveland. First Tee Cleveland is a youth development organization that enables kids to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges. By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with a life skills curriculum, we create active learning experiences that build inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that kids can carry to everything they do.
