Established in 1997 to serve low-income families in Santa Clara County, Sunday Friends is a small but powerful Latina-led non-profit based in San José. Their Blooming in Nature program will expand their current environmental education and experiential initiative to 375 adults and 150 youth from low-income, underserved, socioeconomically challenged neighborhoods in Santa Clara County. Project components include: workshops centering on nature, conservation, recycling and reducing the use of single use plastics; two habitat restoration and river cleanup projects; and six trips to local open space preserves for participants. By educating, engaging and connecting families with the region’s natural resources, Blooming in Nature provides short-term environmental benefits and build the social networks, knowledge and behaviors that make communities more responsive and resilient to the long-term impacts of climate change.
