“I feel like I have more confidence to understand AND EXPLAIN ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE NOW.”

“Watching other people’s journeys as they explore and make discoveries comes with my own accountability to share my ideas. The other Ambassadors pushed me to think about things from different perspectives and angles, make connections, and dive deeper into my own inner discovery.”
