We were recently featured in Times Hudson Valley for our partnership with the Greater Newburgh Parks Conservancy and the City of Newburgh in supporting the Environmental Justice Fellowship (EJF). The article highlights four inspiring fellows—Emily Alta, Tyrese Billups, Eileen Corrales, and Nicole Villachica—who are leading local efforts to restore green spaces, promote environmental education, and build stronger community connections around sustainability and justice.
This feature celebrates the power of collaboration and the importance of empowering young leaders to take action in their own neighborhoods. At Outdoor Promise, we believe that equitable access to nature and environmental education are essential for a thriving, just community. Supporting programs like the Environmental Justice Fellowship helps youth and families turn awareness into action—strengthening both the environment and our collective future.
