What if you could do that on a larger scale? Well, you can, and the opportunity to do that is sitting right in your retirement funds or other investments. You’d be surprised at how easy it can be to redirect your investments to:

Invest in funds that promote clean energy, animal welfare, or women leadership
Invest with a company that actively votes to invest through a fund manager that actively votes to improve the companies you’re invested in
Divest from companies that are “bad actors” (however you want to define it).

This session will explain what sustainable investing is and how it creates positive change, while still benefiting your own financial future. It will also give you some concrete next steps to get started investing in ways that you can feel good about. This session is designed for novice and experienced investors alike.
This class will be held in the Rt 85 Community Room, space is limited! RSVP below to reserve your spot!

While learning more about our natural world, she often noticed that she was one of the few, if not the only, Person of Color in the room. By diving into research and history, she learned that ancestral wounding and historical trauma are key players in the lack of diversity in nature-based programming. She has since dedicated her time to slowly (re)introducing her community to nature by starting in their own backyards and eventually embarking on a journey into the many wild spaces across Baltimore.
