There are not enough people of color in sustainable jobs. Someone has to change that.
Rice founded Sustainable Georgia Futures in 2019, a nonprofit grassroots organization that creates pathways for a more diverse workforce in the green economy.
“We want to address two of our nation’s top issues—climate change and systemic racism—by creating viable pathways for communities of color, especially Black communities, to access jobs in the growing green economy.”
“I was looking for something that combined business and social justice with a focus on starting a nonprofit. As I got into my classes, I tried to apply what I was learning to my nonprofit, and I was able to tailor a lot of my projects around what I needed to do.”
“There are some brilliant people in this program. I love the different perspectives they offer, which enables us to trade ideas.”
