About us
Latinxs in Sustainability (LiS) is a collective that aims to unite Latinx-identifying professionals and students in the sustainability field. We work to dismantle the structural barriers that have hindered Latinx representation in the environmental movement and champion inclusive and accessible career pathways for our Latinx communities. We provide Latinx climate leaders with the resources, awareness, and opportunities they need to thrive in their personal and professional journeys, thus becoming change agents for their communities and beyond. Among our member base, these opportunities take the form of networking, mentorship, knowledge sharing, professional development, and community building.

These Trailblazers of Change are setting new standards, uplifting their communities, and driving progress with their remarkable achievements. Their stories inspire us all to strive for excellence and contribute to a brighter future (because let’s face it, the future is Latino!). 💪 🌍💚 As the sole honoree in #Energy, I am excited to use the NextGen Collective platform to elevate conversations around climate and sustainability, while championing Latinx representation for an equitable clean energy transition. Here's to being the first of many honorees in Energy! I'm immensely grateful to my mentors, friends, and peers who been with me on this 6+ year journey in the clean energy industry. Excited to spotlight my work with Latinxs in Sustainability and The D. E. Shaw Group/D.E.
