This highlights how some emerging professionals have grown through giving back in their community where it matters the most.
Everyone deserves healthy, efficient, resilient places to live, work, learn, pray, and play. USGBC’s Advance campaign was developed to increase access to green building knowledge, expertise and resources, and help build capacity from within community-based organizations. Emerging Professionals have been instrumental in supporting projects and training people in their communities through the initiative. This Career Campfire will introduce USGBC’s Advance Campaign and highlight how some emerging professionals have grown through this service-learning experience. We will also hear from some USGBC partners on how our community can support green building in front-line communities.
