UPCOMING Programs
Become an
afroecologist!
Grow your skills, your land and your community. The AfroEcologist 3-Day Intensive is a hybrid training, part online and part in person, that blends AfroIndigenous ecological wisdom with NRCS conservation science.
Through online classes and a hands-on farm field day, you'll build real skills in irrigation, high tunnel construction and sustainable land management.
Graduates can join BSI's AfroEcology Program as paid extension partners, helping fellow growers adopt sustainable practices and connect to funding like NRCS's Conservation Stewardship Program.
GRID ALTERNATIVES
Launch your career in clean energy. Black Sustainability, Inc. and GRID Alternatives have partnered to bring a 4-week immersive solar installation and maintenance training to metro Atlanta.
Learn how to install and maintain residential solar systems, earn your OSHA 10 and first aid certifications, gain IronRidge credentials, and log hours toward NABCEP certification.
Walk away with job-ready skills through hands-on experiential learning. Cohorts fill up fast, so reserve your spot or join the waiting list today.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Dr. Beverly Scott
Every day, millions of people step onto a train or a bus without thinking about who decided where it would go, who it would serve, or who would be left waiting at the curb.
Dr. Beverly Scott has spent forty years thinking about exactly that.
As the former CEO and General Manager of four of the nation's major transit systems (Boston's MBTA, Sacramento Regional Transit, the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority, and our own MARTA here in Atlanta), Dr. Scott has held the levers that move cities. In every one of those roles, she asked the same question: who gets to move, and who gets to build?
